The Garda and the Defence Forces both have a position within the NCSC. They have staff seconded into the NCSC so there is a connection between those organisations, which is very useful. I understand the Garda National Cyber Crime Bureau has doubled its numbers and now has around 140 staff. A huge amount of cybercrime goes on. As everything is moving online, because life is moving online, a lot of crimes are being committed online. There are good connections there.
