The Taoiseach and Tanaiste have clearly been read the riot act the last few weeks.
Tánaiste said Ireland must take its security 'more seriously' to support EU partners. With a trip to the Munich security conference and the White House on the horizon, @MichealMartinTD and @SimonHarrisTD are making all the right noises. Action is required

If you have a powerful enough lobbying team to bypass the regulator and just get your preferred sub-par regulations for your area of critical infrastructure passed then why would you care what a regulator says? Politicians are to blame for this mess, as is the ESB.
The Commission for the Regulation of Utilities warned @ESBNetworks that the number of power outages its customers suffered was unacceptable, before #StormDarragh & #StormEowyn caused even greater chaos for electricity supply.

I think the default in Ireland is that voters are always misled; by anyone with anything to do with housing.
Here’s a piece on the row over claims that 40,000 homes were built last year which featured during the election . Were voters misled by the previous government on housebuilding during the election? Here’s the evidence

Defence spending increase is all talk until action. Where’s the timeline for the latest defence “review”. Who’s doing it? What level of independence will there be from the DoD and Justice? Will it be jobs for the boys again?
The first big sit-down interview with Micheál Martin since he returned to the Taoiseach's office will be in tomorrow's @irishexaminer But first, here he is signaling a significant increase in defence spending over the next three years

More and more governments removing and blocking #Deepseek from devices. @ncsc_gov_ie I hope is on this. Still waiting for that national security review in Ireland as geosecurity issues continue to change

Australia bans #DeepSeek over security concerns. EU still wandering around like a lost child.

So standard level of experience for most Irish ministers when they get a ministerial job.
New AI minister Niamh Smyth has never used ChatGPT and doesn’t have DeepSeek – but says she’ll learn fast
