This morning, I had the privilege of meeting a most impressive person, Jackie Fox. Jackie has been a campaigner since her beloved daughter, Nicole, whom she knew as Coco, died by suicide in January of this year after prolonged and vicious online harassment. She was accompanied by another woman whose son is currently enduring similar harassment. The emotion was palpable and there are many people like that who are enduring incredible pressure. The Taoiseach will recall that there was a consensus in this House to enact legislation I brought in last year, the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Bill 2017. We had co-operation across the House and with the Department of Justice and Equality to introduce this. It is urgent. They have been to the gardaí and the gardaí say there are no laws to address the type of appalling behaviour that drives children to suicide. I ask that we agree as a House, in memory of Nicole, or Coco as her mum called her, to try to enact this quickly.

I support Deputy Howlin. This is a tragic case. The Deputy is correct that there is proposed legislation from the Labour Party but, in practical terms, the passing of legislation needs the Government to engage meaningfully. There is cross-party support on this issue. Last week, legislation relating to vulture funds was initiated here but was largely supported by the relevant Departments. I ask the Taoiseach to do the same with Labour's proposed legislation on this issue and ensure the Government deals with it on a cross-party basis and advances it as quickly as possible.

I thank the Deputies for raising this important matter. I am sorry to hear about the tragic suicide which they described. The Minister for Justice and Equality is committed to working on a cross-party basis to pass this legislation. I understand it is on Committee Stage and he has some amendments. There will not be a difficulty with the money message from my side. Unfortunately, the Minister is not present at the moment. He is in the Seanad where a filibuster is going on with other justice legislation. The truth, whether people wish to admit it or not, is that the ongoing filibuster of justice legislation in the Seanad is causing other legislation to back up, including important legislation such as this.
