My first question relates to the current level of protection. From discussions in this room and elsewhere in the Oireachtas, it is clear we have a low level of defence and protection of our undersea infrastructure at the moment. Given our position globally and the amount of territorial sea that is within the domain of this State, it is key that we be able to protect that infrastructure. What is there at the moment? I do not want to be abrupt but I ask the witnesses to please keep the responses short. What it there at the moment? Is it just two navy ships? Is that it?
