Unfortunately, cyber bullying has been cited as the cause of many young people's suicides, including quite recently. I have raised with the Taoiseach the criminal justice (cybercrime) Bill, but that legislation concerns attacks on computer IT systems in large corporations. Has the Taoiseach any plans for legislation to deal with the issue of cyber bullying which is affecting so many young people?. I know it is not a straightforward issue and is, in fact, quite a complex one to deal with because many websites are hosted outside the country. We need a roadmap to deal with the matter.
