Ms Bláthnaid Carolan:

That is an excellent question. All of the speakers today have set out the complexity of the situation, the challenge we face and the opportunity we now have to address and resource upwards with an expert in the cybersecurity field. The figures that I have quoted are based on my expertise of 15 years in hiring and recruiting in the technical space. I have built very strong partnerships with Ireland's top headhunters and business consultants, who run salary benchmarking and benefit data every year right across Ireland and at an international level, as needed. It is about keeping on top of what the market is telling us in terms of where we need to be at to draw the calibre of candidate to the roles that we are seeking to fill. There will be a huge span of responsibility for this role and that must be recognised. The person will be coming into a most complex situation. As the contributors have stated in respect of their vision for the role, it is about building something extremely solid. The role really requires a highly-qualified expert who can come in with the gravitas that is required to support the National Cyber Security Centre and to bring the accountability that is needed. It is a very high-level role. There is a lot of responsibility involved. It is about comparing what is out there and what other companies are doing. It is about looking at the private sector salary and benchmarking range.

Ms Carolan, I will let other members follow up on that.
