Will the Minister of State please report on the work of his Department, and the work done by the Defence Forces on cybersecurity? He will be aware that when I raised this issue previously, he deflected and referred to the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, which is out of sync with how similar issues are managed by western democracies. The Department, the Minister of State and the Defence Forces need to show more leadership in this area. It represents a risk to the State. We already know of the underlying criticism from the Comptroller and Auditor General of the current unit within the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment.
