Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has warned that Ireland is facing hybrid security threats and the State must ensure critical infrastructure like electricity grids cannot be attacked.
The Fine Gael leader also said that Ireland will have to give “deep consideration” to joining NATO or EU-led missions to enhance the protection of undersea cables.
He made the comments at a meeting of the European Political Community (EPC) in Moldova. During the course of the meeting, 47 heads of state discussed security issues.
