I ask the Leader for a debate on Seanad reform in the light of the publication of the report on Seanad reform in recent days. I know other colleagues looked for that debate yesterday and I am hopeful we could have it soon given that this report is the culmination of a very extensive consultation process. Many of us, including the Labour Party group of Senators, made submissions to the Seanad reform group chaired by Dr. Maurice Manning. I hope we can have a debate on the content of that report and its recommendations.

I also ask for a debate on cyberbullying and cybercrime. I commend Senator Lorraine Higgins for producing the harmful and malicious electronic communications Bill which is aimed at tackling cyberbullying, an issue of great concern to people across the floor of the House. In recent years we have seen some very disturbing reports of the trauma caused to young people, in particular, by cyberbullying and the use of social media to bully and, in effect, abuse people. Senator Lorrane Higgins has taken an important first step in the debate. I know she will be publishing the Bill in the coming days and both Senator John Whelan and I, as communications and justice spokespersons, respectively, with our Labour Party colleagues, are very happy to support her in this initiative. I hope we will have a debate in this House in very short course on this issue. I am conscious that the Law Reform Commission is also doing a great deal of work on cybercrime more generally, so quite a lot of work has been done on cybercrime generally and cyberbullying, in particular, and how best to tackle it. Certainly, this Bill is a very important development, for which I commend Senator Lorraine Higgins.

I also ask the Leader for a debate on education and school admissions policy in the light of the publication of the Education (Admission to Schools) Bill over the break. Again, this Bill is the culmination of a great deal of consultation. The Minister for Education and Skills has said she will consult further before she decides on the issue of set-aside places that schools may keep where they are oversubscribed and run a waiting list. A number of issues are still to be resolved and we might have a debate in this House before the Bill formally comes to us to debate some of those more detailed issues around school admissions policy.
