Everybody would want that. None of us wants to see what happened to the HSE happen again, either to the HSE or any other entity. We are reliant on technology for everything - payment systems, Google Maps and so on. We use our phones all the time for everything. If your phone's battery dies, you feel like your right arm has fallen off. What we are discussing is important. The concern is that experts like those in the NCSC and IBEC, who are doing this for a living all day every day, have not had their concerns taken on board. Is Mr. Honan of the view the experts are being listened to?
