Speaking ahead of the meeting, Committee Leas-Chathaoirleach Senator Gerry Horkan said “we see more and more the widespread consequences of cyber attacks both in Ireland and abroad. The Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs heard from the National Cyber Security Centre last week on Ireland’s ‘significant volumes’ of assistance to Ukraine. A Common Vision for Cyber Security is essential for Ireland and helps us better protect our citizens.

We look forward to engaging with the stakeholders tomorrow in order to gain their invaluable points of view and technical insights into shaping that Common Vision”
