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

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I will try to get the Deputy some specific information on the cost of that attack to Ireland from an economic point of view. The issue of cybersecurity is taken extraordinarily seriously. The Deputy will note in the programme for Government our plans to relocate cybersecurity to the heart of the Department of Justice, which, I think, is appropriate, and also for the Government to produce a national security strategy for Ireland within the first six months in office and establish a new national security committee. Cyber threats and cyberattacks are very real and pose very real risks to the country and, indeed, to business in the country. We will take this very seriously.
