New law to beef up infrastructure protection

European co-operation will help protect Ireland's vulnerable infrastructure, that’s according to Billy Kelleher. MEPs have voted through a new law this lunchtime to increase protection for critical infrastructure. The list will now include health and banking for the frist time, as well as transport and energy. It comes just days after Swedish investigators revealed they had found traces of explosives around the damaged Nord Stream pipeline. Under the law, all potential risks should be mapped out, and European countries should communicate better. Fianna Fáil MEP, Billy Kelleher, says the HSE cyber attack and the Nord Stream explosions show that infrastructure needs to be better monitored and secured.
