Cybersecurity Policy Dail Éireann — 2022-02-24 ============================================================ Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South The first person I go to is the Secretary General in the Department. There is, however, a specific assistant secretary who I go to in terms of anything related to our network system. It is our responsibility in our Department to oversee the development, deployment and security of the networks. Both that assistant secretary and the director of the NCSC are directly responsible to me and to the Minister of State, Deputy Ossian Smyth. They are our first port of call in terms of seeking advice or making sure our networks are safe and secure. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
