Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on the Cyberattack, Covid-19 Vaccination Roll-out and Covid-19 Restrictions in Maternity Hospitals: Health Service Executive

Mr. Paul Reid:

From a HSE perspective, on the triggering of the cyberattack, we immediately handed this matter over to intelligence agency of the State, which has been working very closely with us and are guiding our cyber-recovery process. It is looking at any data or information we have access to. That is in the hands of the intelligence agency. To be straight, to my knowledge, there have been no prosecutions, but that is in the hands of the State's intelligence agency.
