Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport

Communications Regulation and Network Resilience: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Garrett Blaney:

I will take this initially and then hand over to Mr. Merrigan, who can explain a little bit more about the detail of what we do. This is a much bigger issue than just telecommunications. It is a whole system problem. We have been working closely with An Garda, the Department of Finance and numerous other entities to try to see what we can do. We have looked at specific actions that we can take with regard to the telecommunication system and using telecommunications systems to try to help in this. I mentioned briefly earlier on working with the Canadians and Australians. We are trying to get a best international practice approach here. Some countries are slightly ahead in some areas. We are ahead of other countries in other areas. Everyone globally is struggling with this challenge. Mr. Merrigan might talk about the specific actions that we have taken.
