Ms Una Fitzpatrick:

It is a suggestion. I know we are already involved. My colleague may be able to speak about the D9 group at the European level. The suggestion about the digital nations is to encourage discussion and debate with like-minded, open, strategic economies like Ireland. At a global level, there may be questions on strategic autonomy and sovereignty issues within the tech sector. If we can encourage positive debate and discussion on policies and future directions with like-minded countries, I hope we can alleviate some of those pressures.
