Recent Cyberattack and its Impact on the Health System: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-18
============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

There is a clear recognition in Government and in this House of the importance of cybersecurity in all our lives.
It is our lives that are affected when a breach like this occurs. The changes to reflect that have been significant in recent years. The last time I was Minister with responsibility for communications, ten years ago, there was one person effectively working part time on the same basis. There are now 29 people.
