I propose to take Questions Nos. 204 and 205 together.

The Department of the Taoiseach implements a security-by-design and defence-in-depth approach to cyber security in line with the Public Sector Cyber Security Baseline Standards.

The National Cyber Security Centre advises Departments not to disclose details of systems and processes which could in any way compromise security. In common with other Government Departments, the Department of the Taoiseach has in place comprehensive arrangements to support ICT security and receives regular advice on these matters from the relevant authorities. The range of cybersecurity measures and associated costs span the full spectrum of ICT services, including ICT system design and maintenance, device management, user awareness, training and appropriate external expertise.
