By Sean Moriarty

A new conference in cyber security, with a direct focus on relationships between Ireland and the United States, will take place in Killarney next month.
The Cyber Security Conference (Transatlantic Policy Forum) will be held at The Brehon, on May 10.
The conference is being organised by Dr William Sheehan, a local historian and organiser of the Killarney Economic Conference.
The conference began after a conversation between Dr Edward Burke of the University of Nottingham and Sheehan who are both historians of military conflict.
They have invited David Crozier of Queens University Belfast and Dr Robert Mauro of Boston College to join them.
All four share a common concern that cybercrime and cyber terrorism is a real threat especially given the number of US multi-national companies based in Ireland.
Speakers include Richard Browne, Director of Ireland’s National Cyber Security Centre; Michael Gubbins, Garda National Cyber Crime Bureau; Detective Inspector Alistair Burns, Serious Cyber Crime Unit PSNI, while the keynote speaker will be Sir Rob Wainwright, Senior Partner for Deloitte’s Cyber Practice and the former Director of Europol, and David Stanton, TD, Minister of State for Equality, Immigration and Integration, will deliver the opening address.
“This conference is unique, it brings together key leaders in cybersecurity from Ireland, the UK and the United States, and from sectors such as defence, law enforcement, business and research for the first time in Ireland,” Dr Sheehan said. “Panels will explore how new partnerships can be created to face future threats both across sectors and countries, how those threats will evolve from state and non-state sectors, and how the Irish government can support this emerging industry in Ireland, and how business can evolve and protect themselves into the future.”

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.

The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.

“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.

“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are: 

“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?

“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?

“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?

For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
