216. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the number of undersea cables categorised as 'critical infrastructure' that pass through marine waters in the Irish EEZ; and if he will outline, in tabular form, the ownership of same, by state, and/or by public or private entity.

View answerFollowing clarification with the Deputy’s office that the scope of this question is undersea cables that pass through marine waters in the Irish EEZ without landing in the Irish State, I can inform the Deputy that my Department does not hold information on the number of undersea telecommunications cables categorised as 'critical infrastructure' that pass through marine waters in the Irish EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone).
