Dr. Browne will be aware that a forum on the future of Ireland’s security neutrality will be held at University College Cork, UCC, University of Galway and Dublin Castle. I was at the Tallinn 2022 conference. There are no borders in cyberspace. There is a conversation going on in Ireland about our neutrality or lack thereof and the future position in foreign affairs. The truth of the matter is that there are four pillars. I cannot ever see us being involved in a NATO army, navy or air force. We simply would not meet the criteria. However, from what I understand and am hearing internationally on the NCSC, it is pure equals to anybody out there. The question arises whether Dr. Browne or the NCSC have been invited to give an overview of the importance of working with like-minded countries in the field of cyberspace, AI and all things tied up with that. I will leave it at that.
