Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Cybersecurity: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Declan Daly:

Our relationship with ISPs is generally very positive. We look for a lot of information from them. I have to be very careful here because I do not want to give away any tradecraft about how we discuss these investigations. It is important that we do not educate other people. There are times when, for technical reasons, information may not be available to them and therefore they may not get it. In my experience, I have not come across any case where they wilfully refused to give information. They may not have it and may not be able to get easy access to it but I do not have any information to pass to the committee today which says that any single company has wilfully, deliberately failed to disclose information.
