There are a number of initiatives in this regard that encompass areas beyond the scope of the Department of Justice and Equality. Only yesterday evening there was a preliminary meeting with a view to closer contact between the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment and me on the specific question of the cybercrime Bill. That Bill is to give effect to certain aspects of a Council of Europe convention of some time ago. There are gaps in our law. It is too early for me to state a timeframe in any definitive manner but, in conjunction with my ministerial colleagues, I assure the Deputy that work is under way, albeit at very early stage.
