The NIS2 Directive is a revision of the NIS Directive which is currently in force in the State and will remain in full effect covering the most critical operators within the State while the NIS2 Directive is being transposed into national law.
Transposition of the NIS2 Directive is being taken forward by the National Cyber Security Bill.
My Department is currently working with the Office of Parliamentary Council on the drafting of the Bill.
This Bill is a priority for the Government and I expect to be in a position to bring the Bill to Cabinet shortly seeking approval to have it published.
