Subject to it being drafted, there is no impediment to publishing it.

Let me raise a different issue. The Government has indicated that it will support the Labour Party's Bill to update the law on harassment. The Taoiseach will be aware that there has been controversy in the United Kingdom about the blocking of a Bill to deal with the offence of upskirting. The Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Bill 2017 which is based on the Law Reform Commission's proposals deals with a number of things, including cyberbullying, revenge porn and upskirting. The Minister has indicated that he will work with us to progress it. He might update us on where exactly is the legislation. Is there any prospect of having it debated in this session?
