National Cybersecurity: Discussion
Ms Bláthnaid Carolan:
I thank Senator Craughwell for an excellent question. This is an exceptional role and I have no doubt that time-to-time in the public sector, as in the private sector, there are exceptions. In my language, there is an exception to every rule. We really need to make it attractive in order to attract and retain the right person in this role. Maybe we might look to the National Treasury Management Agency, NTMA, which applied private sector packaging towards hiring particular key talent, albeit within the public sector, and possibly apply a model akin to that.
