AnalysisThere are already long-standing committees on national security, so it’s not clear why they want a new one. The call for a national policy statement on national security is odd as the country has been waiting many years for a promised national security strategy, devised by the National Security Analysis Centre (NSAC), of which there is no mention. AnalysisEven if people are sceptical about implementation, experts believe the proposals on national security at least indicate a growing realisation that security is a priority. Fianna Fáil doesn’t mention the National Screening Advisory Committee (NSAC) either, nor the national security strategy. Its reference to a new security framework is despite the fact we are still awaiting the national security strategy by NSAC.
