I will ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Pat Rabbitte, to come to the House to give an update on both wave and wind energy early in the next session in the autumn.

Senator Ivana Bacik called for a debate of cyberbullying, noting the fact that Geoffrey Shannon has mentioned that it should be a specific offence. We will ascertain if the Minister will introduce legislation to deal with that issue. I will invite him to the House to address the matter.

Senator David Norris rightly praised the former Minister of State, Deputy Lucinda Creighton. The former Minister of State gave a great contribution in the House on many occasions. On behalf of the House I thank her for her time, courtesy and ability in reporting and addressing European affairs matters, in particular, and the way she handled the EU Presidency.
