IRELAND WILL REQUEST to become an observer on a European defence project that develops strategies to manage the security of undersea cables and pipelines.
The Dáil recently voted in favour of the Defence Forces’ full involvement in four projects relating to cyber threats, disaster relief capability, Special Operations Forces medical training and systems for mine countermeasures. During the recent consultative forum on international security Tánaiste Micheál Martin repeatedly identified critical undersea infrastructure as an area that must be addressed.General Hans-Werner Wiermann, head of Critical Undersea Infrastructure Coordination, recently told The Journal that Russia has been mapping undersea cables and that Nato countries are involved in increasing their presence in the Atlantic to counter the threat.
In a statement the Department of Defence said that: “The project, approved by the European Council in May, aims to increase the EU’s operational efficiency in the protection of critical maritime infrastructure by making best use of current underwater assets and the coordinated development of future assets.”
