I thank the Minister of State for his response. This gives him a mandate to seek significant funding. In years heretofore, there has been a bit of a Craggy Island approach to computers, including passwords taped onto the covers of laptops, etc. We are at a crossroads from which we either go whole hog, invest heavily and show the world we are cyber safe or we go the other way and say we are going to lean on our European neighbours and concede that we will not have the capacity to build a big system but rely on the fact that we have neighbours and good allies who have that capacity.
