Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Transatlantic Trade Relations: American Chamber of Commerce Ireland

2:00 am

Mr. Paul Sweetman:

The area of cyber is something Ireland has to be incredibly strong at. We have put a lot of investment into the cybersecurity space over the last number of years to get us to a level that is acceptable internationally, but we need to be cognisant that the strength of Ireland's cyber defences and its cybersecurity prowess is something that companies will look at when they are making a location here. As much as any other piece of infrastructure, this is something we have to be conscious of too. It is not something where we can just say we have made investment and got to a particular point. We continually have to improve in it.
