245. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Defence if her Department was involved in the figure of €750 being offered to victims of the HSE cyber-attacks; if her Department has developed a rate for which they are prepared to offer victims of future cyber-attacks; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Defence Forces are responsible for Cyber Defence. I wish to clarify that I have no function with respect to the National Cyber Security Centre, which is under the remit of the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, or the HSE, which is under the remit of the Department of Health. The Department of Defence and the Defence Forces have no oversight or responsibility for victim support measures.
