There was no expense spared when it came to the provision of further resources for the National Cyber Security Centre. The ask was for the optimal staffing with skills as well. It is not just about numbers; it is about skills as well. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform was immediate in providing us with the necessary resources. Staff are being taken on, bringing total staff numbers up to 44 this year. That was optimised on the basis of best international expertise advising us. That is what they felt we needed.
