What is the status of the promised legislation to combat online bullying and harassment? The Minister will be aware of the report of the Law Reform Commission on harmful communications and digital safety. As Minister for Education and Skills, he is in a particular position to understand how damaging this whole issue is for young people in particular. The Law Reform Commission recommended the establishment of an online regulator - a digital safety commissioner. When will we see draft legislation in this regard? Is it a priority to deal with the whole area of harassment and online bullying?
