Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Matters relating to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform: Discussion
Mr. Robert Watt:
There is a centralised government network that is managed from the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer. Mr. Barry Lowry is the chief information officer and he is responsible for that. It is a significant network that provides services across the public service. As the Senator can imagine, there is much investment debate about security and cybersecurity all the time. We had a discussion about it this morning.
