Amharc ar fhreagraThe NIS2 Directive entered into force in January 2023 and the enactment of the National Cyber Security Bill, which is the legislative vehicle transposing the NIS2 Directive is a priority for my Department.
Officials from my Department provided the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration with a briefing on the General Scheme of the National Cyber Security Bill on 15 July 2025 to assist it in undertaking pre-legislative scrutiny (PLS).
My Department continues to work with the Office of Parliamentary Council (OPC) and the Attorney General’s Office on the drafting of the Bill, which is at an advanced stage. Engagement is also ongoing with the relevant Departments and Agencies in relation to the Bill. The Bill is included on the Government Legislation Programme for priority publication this session.
