Gerard Craughwell has called on the education minister to introduce a cyber-awareness programme for children as part of the measures

Ireland urgently needs to invest in cybersecurity to avoid becoming a sitting duck for international hackers, according to a senator and member of the Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence.

Mr Craughwell said Ireland and the European Union must follow this example or remain vulnerable to catastrophic attacks like the one that crippled the health service here in 2021. The independent senator said he had sent a proposal to Education Minister Norma Foley for the establishment of a cyber-awareness programme for children aged nine and older, which he likened to the ‘green flag’ environmental scheme.
