These are the basis of the Internet and run everything smoothly, from tiktok to emergency services, business, banking systems, political and military communication.
However, after some incidents where Internet cables were disconnected in the Baltic countries and internet communication was interrupted, the cable network surrounding the coast of Britain and Irish is becoming more and more attractive to military, terrorists, or criminals. It is considered a target.
75% of all the Atlantic cables are going through Ireland or nearby, which has a very strategic important meaning in the UK and Europe.
Two years ago, the cable between Finland and Estonia was cut off, and the link between Finland, Germany, Sweden and Lithuania was cut off in November, and the seabed of Ireland and the exclusive economic zone is accurate. The question of who is securing is being raised. (EEZ) Over the coast of the country, it spreads to 330 miles.
Ireland is not a member of the NATO, has no submarines, has a neutral policy, is one of the smallest Defense Forces in Europe, and has less spending than Croatia, Slovakia and Portugal.
Senator Gerald Klowell, a member of the Senator Irish, who has been on defense issues for the past decade, told Guardian newspapers that Irish people are aware that the Neutrality of the Irish is not a shield in modern wars and crimes. Ta.
“It is our economy and European economy, but we believe that our people will not attack us because we are loved all over the world. I have come.
“I am very worried that neutral is selling nonsense to the people that it means that we cannot protect ourselves.
“If the wrongdoers take out the cable, Mr. Clawell can have a catastrophic impact on the UK and Europe's economy.
“The EU countries are not satisfied with the open side of Ireland, but Ireland has only played that role,” he added.
The European Seabed Cable Association has a $ 10 trillion dollar transactions per day via a seabed cable around the world, saying that it is high in risk, from Tiktok videos to emergency services, for data transfer cable network. He points out everything he depends on.
Mr. Clawell is promoting the government in various aspects and has brought it to the High Court to prove whether there is a secret unofficial agreement with the UK, which recognizes an hostile flight over the Irish Air Force by the British Air Force. 。
The lawsuit will be in court in February. The Irish government spokeswoman does not comment on the issue of national security, but all defense policies are “constitutional, Irish sovereignty, and Ireland's military neutral policies.” I mentioned.
The next Prime Minister Michael Martin has recently acknowledged that Ireland is facing a “new threat” because of the role of the submarine infrastructure. He said at a meeting on the theme held in Valencia in October, “The impact on potential risks is clear.”
Irish and Iceland Defense Representative I met in December We are planning to discuss marine security, and the Ireland government is developing a marine security strategy.
Secretary -General Jackie McCram of the Irish Defense Pentagon acknowledges that “Irish and Iceland have an important infrastructure in both state and worldwide,” and only geographically isolated. He added that none of the countries were not affected by the world.
Sturla Sigur Yong -sung and McCram, ambassador to Iceland in Irish, Britain, Malta, Jordan, and Qatar, promised to continue their cooperation in security.
At present, an attack has occurred in Ireland, who specializes in the security and government, who specializes in the security and government, “inadequate resources to monitor and respond to potential threats.” He said that only one or two ships could go to the sea.
He said, “In European countries, there are probably less investment in Defense infrastructure or less investing in Ireland,” he said.
“I think it would be a profit for everyone to understand what kind of threats they were securely monitored and faced with this infrastructure,” said Kovaory University Associate Professor.
Finnish International Research Institute's World Security and Governance Researcher Elein McNamala, not only because Russia is ridiculed Ireland because Ireland is considered a threat to Cremlin, but geographically the UK. He said it was close to.
The cable was all intimidated, as the location of the cable is planned. “They are not just thinking about Ireland, but also the British and other northern Atlantic countries, and many of them support Ukraine.” You are a weapon in Ukraine. By providing power in our entrance, we will also project power in your entrance in another hybrid method and give you some opportunities to think about it. You can do it, “said McNamara.
According to McCeave, “the best way to protect the neutral is to have a defense army.” Clawer also agreed to this, adding that the Ireland government needed to start a sincere discussion with the people.
After the news letter promotion
“Modern aircraft, ships, underwater monitoring capabilities, sonar, and primary radiages are provided with appropriate resources, and prompt response plans that can respond immediately to threats from other countries, regardless of Russia. He said.
He said that Ireland eventually needed at least three naval bases in Dublin, Donigal and Wexford, and he had to deploy three or four ships on the sea at all times.
“I think it needs a formal role and agreement with all the Atlantic countries, such as Ireland, Nordic, France, Spain, Portugal, and Iceland,” he said.
McNamara described Ireland, a naval ship that has no devices for monitoring the seabed, as “a kind or weak connection” in Europe's landscape.
“Dublin is a very important city in terms of supply chains and data centers, and conducting training offshore is equivalent to intimidation. It is” we can build important connections for the European economy. ” He said, “he said.
Ireland has been stuck in the Irish Sea for several hours in the Irish Sea in November, and has already been strictly alert. The ship entered the British waters this Monday, but at this time the British Navy was strictly tracking and did not wander. On Tuesday, the British Secretary of Defense John Healey told the House of Representatives that the Yantal was a Russian vessel engaged in “creating an important UK in the UK”.
Experts have said that it is wrong to suggest that one hidden cable could lead to a devastating power outage on the Internet, taking into account the huge capacity of data flows to the continent cable. I am. But it will miss the point, McNamara says.
“If you can't monitor, there's no evidence and no one can go to trial,” said McNamara.
Macke Eve has not limited the questions about the protection of the submarine cable, and the phenomena known as the “blindness of the sea” have been studied by scholars, and the invisible underwater infrastructure is a public discussion. He said that it refers to lack of political traction.
He stated that the infrastructure was maintained on a daily basis by a private company owning a cable, which is not a problem. However, if a terrorist attack occurs, the private sector staff will not be able to investigate, collect evidence, or in the worst case to enter a hostile environment.
“Investment in the Navy is necessary. Defense power is important, especially important for neutral countries,” said McQueve that the expansion of offshore power plants would make infrastructure even more important.
“We are talking about the energy supply of this country. If someone wants to do something, we need some deterrence. We need to monitor and understand whether the threat is escalating.” He added.
Macke Eve said that it makes sense for small navy and countries with a large marine space to cooperate with larger navy and more assets.
In response to a series of questions, the Ministry of Defense, Ireland, has participated in many security programs, including six EU permanent structural cooperation projects, focusing on protection of important infrastructure, strengthening maritime monitoring, and countermeasures against submarines. Was stated.
He is also a member of the European Defense Agency's marine monitoring project and a member of the NATO's Peace Partnership Forum since 1999.
