My Department has robust security measures in place throughout its various buildings which include restricted swipe-controlled access across branches and offices. In this context, my Department and the Defence Forces attach high importance to all security matters. The detailed security arrangements undertaken in this context are matters that are pursued as considered necessary by my Department and the Defence Forces and it is not considered appropriate to make these public.
