Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Hybrid Threats and Threats to the National Infrastructure: Institute of International and European Affairs
Mr. Cian FitzGerald:
Again, what we focused on is enhancing the existing structures. It is about trying to provide the Defence Forces and An Garda Síochána with more resources. At the same time, we also have the National Cyber Security Centre, so again it is about providing more resourcing to that. It would provide, again, a reasonably easy win in using the resources already at our disposal and enhancing them by bringing them to an additional level. Coupling that with greater co-operation at the EU level would leave us better protected than we are now from these types of grey zone threats.
