Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Social Media: Discussion

Mr. Hugh Boyle:
Generally speaking, the offence of harassment under section 10 of the Non-Fatal Offences against the Person Act 1997 would be the most relevant.
I do not think too many prosecutions have been brought in the context of cyber bullying because there are difficulties with regard to people making complaints and with the complaint being sustained. This is very difficult for people.
