Kieran O'Donnell: I thank Dr. Byrne. We have to be out of here just after 11.35 a.m. and we have one more contributor. I apologise for curtailing your contribution. Deputy Crowe, I am going to give you seven minutes. I am going slightly over the time, but I think it is only appropriate.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Cybersecurity: Discussion (25 May 2021)

Kieran O'Donnell: In that context, Mr. Larkin, why did those involved, or the pariahs, as you more appropriately called them, hand the keys to the HSE?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Cybersecurity: Discussion (25 May 2021)

Kieran O'Donnell: Maybe you might go from the more general to the specific. By the time you get to the end of the answer, it might be a bit more specific.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Cybersecurity: Discussion (25 May 2021)

Kieran O'Donnell: Does giving the keys back change the game for the HSE in terms of securing data within its system? Does it assist?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Cybersecurity: Discussion (25 May 2021)

Kieran O'Donnell: To be cynical, is it a way for the cyberpirates to let the HSE know the amount of data they have secured? Would the HSE know from the key how much data the criminals have been able to take from its system?

Kieran O'Donnell: I thank the witnesses attending today's engagement, namely Mr. Larkin, Mr. O'Reilly, Ms Carolan, Mr. Walsh and Dr. Byrne. No doubt, this is a subject on which we will follow up with them and their colleagues. The issue of cybercrime is probably one of the greatest threats to Ireland at State and business levels that we have seen in our lifetime. As a committee, we are going to do a body of...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Aviation Industry (20 May 2021)

Kieran O'Donnell: I am a Deputy from the constituency of Limerick City in the mid-west. Connectivity through Shannon Airport is vital. It is a key component of our economic and tourism model. Crucial in that respect is the need to have an Aer Lingus cabin crew base located at Shannon Airport to ensure it is possible to provide flights at times which suit business people in the region and tourists. In that...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Aviation Industry (20 May 2021)

Kieran O'Donnell: I am here to speak specifically about the Aer Lingus cabin crew base closure at Shannon Airport. It has been devastating for the workers and their families. As well as that, having a base at Shannon is critical for connectivity because of the early morning and early afternoon Heathrow slots and because it provides transatlantic connectivity to Aer Lingus. I have two questions. I know the...

Questions on Promised Legislation (20 May 2021)

Kieran O'Donnell: I raise the issue of the closure of the Aer Lingus cabin crew base in Shannon which affects 81 workers. The Minister met the Aer Lingus CEO, Ms Lynne Embleton, yesterday. Can he give us an update on that discussion? We want the decision to be reversed. Can he commit to ongoing discussions with Aer Lingus to ensure connectivity out of Shannon and that the base remains? The 81 cabin crew...

The reopening of the transatlantic routes to the US is also critical to us.
