Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Examination of the Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly (Resumed)

12:00 pm

Mr. Garrett Blaney:

Energy security is also a key area in the clean energy package. We have a function on energy security and we make relatively frequent reports on an annual or biannual basis to the commission in terms of our progress. Energy security has become much more complex in many ways. There are new issues, for example, cybersecurity, which is one of the areas we have been examining. We have written to the companies urging them to take extra protection around cybersecurity. It is an area about which we can never be in any way relaxed. We have a constant vigilance on energy security. We are only as good as the next incident.
