Like others, I congratulate and thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, the Ceann Comhairle, Oireachtas staff in the House, our office staff and members of An Garda Síochána, who were directing traffic outside the House when it was almost 3 a.m. It was a challenging time for everybody and everyone should take a bow on having successfully concluded the past 18 months.

I raise the issue of bullying, which I raised previously, in particular bullying through use of the Internet, whether it is targeted at children, women, vulnerable groups or whatever. There is still a need to update our legislation in line with requirements to stop bullying in cases where menaces are extended to various people, including vulnerable people, on a basis that is totally and absolutely unacceptable and that very often ends tragically.

I agree wholeheartedly with what the Deputy said on the issue of bullying, both traditional bullying and the new form of it that is online and can follow you everywhere. It is definitely an issue we will pay more attention to in the next session when the House returns in September.
