I will wrap up by referencing one final thing. A national debate on neutrality is kicking off at the moment. We are militarily neutral. That has been reiterated time and time again. However, when it comes to cybersecurity, I hold the view that we cannot be neutral. We need to lean on other countries that have a superior system to ours to defend themselves. Does Dr. Browne share that view and is he co-operating with his counterparts in other European countries to bolster Irish defences? We can definitely work with partners beyond our shores to have a more resilient Irish cybersecurity system.
