What's The Story with Ireland's Neutrality, Conor?

In this episode of Basically Stefanie chats to Conor Gallagher, Crime and Security Correspondent of The Irish Times and author of "Is Ireland Neutral?".

Conor outlines what NATO is and what are the steps that might be needed if Ireland were to join NATO. They discuss how Ireland and other countries' protective forces are shifting with the world becoming more and more digital and how to prevent not only physical attacks but cyber attacks, particularly in light of the HSE cyber attack which was the largest cyber attack on a health organisation in the world.
