I want to raise with the Minister the closure of Munster Technological University, MTU, campuses in Cork due to the attack on IT systems. Have personal data - bank details and so on - been impacted? When will normal college activities resume? Students are losing out in the meantime on lab time, for example, and there is a backlog building. There are 13,000 students and 1,200 staff there. In addition, there are tens of thousands of former students and former staff. For example, former students may have had to get transcripts of results and so on for job applications. Is that available? There are banking details of current and former students and their parents as well. Has the extent of the attack been determined? Is personal information involved? When can normal college activities resume? Tá sé fíorthábhachtach go mbeadh eolas cinnte ar fáil.
