Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Cybersecurity and Hybrid Threats Following the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Discussion
Dr. Richard Browne:
We have sought to do that for quite a while. We will do that directly with Ministers. Ministers have been given cybersecurity advice directly, and we will continue to do that. We will also give advice in this House. We have dealt directly with the Houses of the Oireachtas on the cybersecurity of this institution and its Members. It is challenging because Members are not employees of the Houses of the Oireachtas, obviously.
This is a very unusual organisation in that regard. Let us be very blunt, and we have seen this in other European jurisdictions, it is also a target. Let us not shy away from that either.
