I ask the Tánaiste about the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Bill 2017, with which he may be familiar. This is a Labour Party Bill dealing with the important issues of cyberbullying and online harassment and the real damage being done online, particularly to younger people. There was strong support for it across the House, including from the Government benches, when I introduced it and the Bill was passed in the Dáil last June. I spoke to the Minister subsequently and a promise was made to give the Bill a fair wind. When is it likely that we will see progress on this very important measure?
