Taoiseach Micheál Martin has insisted Ireland will not pay any ransom to hackers who attacked the state’s health service.
Earlier, Minister of State for Communications Ossian Smyth has said a bitcoin ransom was demanded following a cyber attack on Health Service Executive (HSE) computer systems.
The demand is being assessed by experts who are attempting to determine if it was sent by those who launched the attack, he said.
Mr Martin, speaking at Government Buildings on Friday evening, said: “We had the people in place, we had the capacity and we had the systems in place to deal with this and we’re dealing with it methodically from the outset.”
