I agree with the Deputy opposite that this is a significant opportunity for Ireland. My Department will be assisting in every way possible. Beyond the Department of Defence, a range of other Departments and agencies, specifically Enterprise Ireland, are involved. While Ireland may not have an arms industry, a number of companies are involved in the development of new technologies and capabilities that have dual military and civil application.

This is an opportunity for Ireland to put its best foot forward and draw down some of the available funding. There are major job opportunities for Ireland in that regard.
