Committee on Defence and National Security
National Maritime Security Strategy: Department of Defence
2:00 am
Dr. Margaret Stanley:
As a partner nation, Ireland has a relationship with NATO through our individually tailored partnership programme, which was agreed last year. We have a lot to learn from how NATO protects the critical undersea infrastructure in its area. There is an opportunity for Ireland to improve its national security by accessing this type of information and understanding better how we can develop our new approaches to helping our situation at home.
