I very much welcome the Defence Forces participation in the EU's common information sharing environment, CISE. Is Dr. Stanley in a position to elaborate further in that regard? As an extension to that question, it was said extensive outreach has been undertaken to identify and explore opportunities to co-operate "with neighbouring countries, the EU and international institutions, including our neighbours in the north Atlantic". I welcome the military attaché who is here from the British Embassy. I assume we are in close contact with our nearest neighbours in this regard. Insofar as she can, can Dr. Stanley elaborate on what this entails?
