Mr. Richard Browne:

One could argue that it has been. This was not in the strategy itself but in the implementation report that was associated with the strategy. It was not actually part of the strategy. It was the steering group that created the strategy to begin with and it had existed since 2011. Its role was not necessarily governance. Its role was oversight around the operations of the NCSC to ensure that the Garda, the Defence Forces and the various different Departments had insight into what was going on and that there was transparency around what our Department was doing essentially in the security realm. The steering committee was replaced fully in 2017 by committee F and the structures around that committee.
