I am going to address my questions to the three witnesses, whom I thank for being here. They paint a very dark picture with respect to cybersecurity in Ireland. My first experience of cybersecurity was in 1997, I believe. I managed the IT system for the college I worked in and our MicroVAX was hacked over a weekend. It was a simple attack, simply to try to break the password. Nonetheless, it brought home to me how small the world was becoming at the time. That was a long time ago.
