View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 810 and 811 together.
I am informed by the Garda authorities that any complaint of alleged cyber-bullying is fully investigated by An Garda Síochána, utilising all relevant legislation including in particular Section 10 of the Non-fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997. I have asked the Garda Commissioner for further details in relation to training on this issue and I will write to the Deputy directly with any further information.
