Dr. Richard Browne:

There is no formal definition in law for "critical infrastructure" in this country. We use seven sectors in respect of the network and information systems, NIS, directive, including telecoms, which is covered in a number of different ways. We also cover energy, which includes electricity, gas and oil and their transmission and distribution, etc.; transport, including land, sea and air transport; and healthcare and, more specifically, healthcare environments. If the Deputy wants to talk about how we designate in respect of healthcare, I am more than happy to do so at any length he wants. We also cover two different classifications of financial services, although it is important to note that compliance for those is dealt with by the Central Bank of Ireland. The final sector we cover is drinking water supply.
