Security at the Summit & Pay Deal

November 11, 2026 · 27 min

Show notes

How do our security forces manage the murky cyber threats that have dominated the headlines as we approach the largest gathering of world leaders Ireland has ever hosted?
On this episode, we talk to former chief of staff of the Defence Mark Mellett on the spate of recent cyber threats and the scale of the security operation involved in hosting two major EU summits on Thursday and Friday.

And those pay talks that finally ended overnight with a deal- our work and technology correspondent Brian O'Donovan goes through what has been agreed and what happens next.
