============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

We live in a world of threats, including those associated with hybrid warfare, cybersecurity, weaponised social media and disinformation. In this regard, we must also consider the positives and dangers of artificial intelligence. At the conference, the Taoiseach spoke about an EU- or NATO-led mission that he would welcome to strengthen the protection of undersea cables. Are there any proposals on this at this stage? We need co-operation and capacity but cannot let these sorts of conversations be a stalking horse or trojan horse to move us away from where the Irish people are on non-alignment and military neutrality.
