Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (22 Jan 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: Good afternoon to everyone. I thank the witnesses for being here. As I only have ten minutes I will try to fly through a couple of areas. I will start with cybersecurity. I am not sure to whom I will direct these questions. Where does the Department report the cost of the cybersecurity centre and is there a particular reason it is not shown as a separate Vote in the accounts?

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (22 Jan 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: That is all right. I thank Mr. Griffin. The National Cyber Security Centre shares an intellectual space with a number of other organisations, and some of the work is parallel, tangential or even complementary. It is not very clear from the numbers sometimes what exactly is involved in the operations of the organisation. Could Mr. Griffin outline the communications framework between the...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (22 Jan 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: I will conclude my questions on that issue. Ireland is a hub now for private cybersecurity firms and part of the Department's role is policy. Considering the current climate and recent cybersecurity events such as the SolarWinds Orion breach, and the Comptroller and Auditor General's previous remarks on the inadequate funding for cybersecurity, does Mr. Ó hÓbáin consider that...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (22 Jan 2021)

Neasa Hourigan: The submissions outline a spend of €141 million on energy upgrades across several schemes. I find it difficult to unpack some of those numbers. I ask for a ballpark percentage or a breakdown of the €141 million. How much of that represents grants to the 18,500 households outlined in the grant scheme or the deep retrofit? How much was delivered to the 3,500 households in...
