Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
Recent Developments in the EU on Security and Defence: Discussion
Dr. Kenneth McDonagh:
That goes back to the point for the need for good intelligence and for being able to assess information to be able to make sure the correct information is informing decisions at a very high level when it comes to policymakers but also in the public forum. We are seeing significant issues with disinformation and how that will play out in our upcoming elections. At the moment, we still lack the capabilities to deal with that effectively. That is not only in Ireland but at a European level as well. It is in the US and in other countries. It is something that needs to be foregrounded in our thinking in this space.
