Mr. FitzGerald has talked about the government-level technology. That is of concern to many citizens. We follow the reports of surveillance and monitoring of citizens and recently there have been many revelations and whistleblowers emerging internationally, so people are beyond being shocked. Is it Mr. FitzGerald’s opinion that the issues identified by the security consultancy company were of the type that the ordinary criminal gang in Dublin, or that type of operation, or a journalist, could be involved in, or does he believe that its sophistication suggested it came from government level, if it was the case?
