National Cybersecurity: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Pat Larkin was a witness before the committee yesterday. He said that he measured Ireland versus the UK spending in cybersecurity per capita. Mr. Larkin expected that we should be spending in the order of €50 million per annum, but we are spending about €5 million per annum. Does the Minister of State believe that the National Cyber Security Centre is under-resourced? Does he agree with Mr. Larkin's figure of €50 million? What is the Minister of State's view on this, as the person in charge of the area?
