I am looking at this issue from the perspective of there being expertise within An Garda Síochána. Do we have a sufficient number of people with this expertise in the Garda? Is there a proposal to expand the number of people working in this area? I think it was €237 million the Minister referred to as being stolen in this fashion between 2020 and 2023. I refer to investment, therefore, in this area by all State agencies, but especially by the Garda. This is an area which changes rapidly, literally every day, in respect of how people try to commit this fraud. We need, therefore, to be up very early in the morning to try to keep pace with these developments. What is the programme within the Garda and the whole State operation as regards trying to prevent cybercrime and online fraud?
