I will give more context to the question. Will the Taoiseach tell us how many cases of hacking in his Department have been recorded? If there have been cases, did the Taoiseach receive warnings about his own devices? Has malware been a problem for his Department? I hope his forthcoming visit to the United States will be enjoyable but what special precautions will be made in that regard?

There are many recorded instances of people's devices being hacked when they go to the US. Have any special arrangements been put in place to ensure the Taoiseach, who seems determined to meet President Trump, will not be hacked and bugged? It could be done by people from here, anxious to know how the Taoiseach is getting on. Equally, it could be people with bad intent.
