The national security analysis centre is a co-ordination of the NCSC, the Defence Forces, the Garda and that whole bit that relates to national security. When we had asked questions previously about the NCSC’s remit, we would have been told that it relates to dealing with the critical infrastructure companies in ensuring that they follow due diligence and then in dealing with attacks. Can I have a picture of the hierarchy and the very specific details, because I do not believe it makes a great deal of sense that we have not been able to get somebody to appear before the committee from the Defence Forces or whatever? On some level, if we were to paint this as a hierarchy, the NCSC is not the boss of the Defence Forces, which deal with specific issues themselves.
