I will conclude my questions on that issue. Ireland is a hub now for private cybersecurity firms and part of the Department's role is policy. Considering the current climate and recent cybersecurity events such as the SolarWinds Orion breach, and the Comptroller and Auditor General's previous remarks on the inadequate funding for cybersecurity, does Mr. Ó hÓbáin consider that the National Cyber Security Centre is properly funded to deal with the threat facing it?
