Question 100: To ask the Minister for Defence his views on whether jammers available for purchase via the Internet pose a security threat to global positioning system navigation systems at sea; his further views on the potential scale of this threat; and the steps he will take to address it.

I would like to advise the Deputy that as Minister for Defence, the issue of jammers and their potential threat to Global Positioning System, (GPS), navigation systems at sea does not come under my remit. The Naval Service is aware of the issue and I have been informed that in the event of such a threat to one of its ships, the Naval Service could revert to a terrestrial navigation system.
