The Taoiseach Enda Kenny has suggested that Kim Kardashian would not have been robbed if she was using an Irish tech security firm.
Mr Kenny made the comments as Carlow company Netwatch announced 85 new jobs.
He told people to send a message to the Kardashians, saying "we will mind you".
The Taoiseach said: "I was going to say that there was a good lady robbed in Paris of jewellery there.
"Maybe if they had Netwatch, they mightn't have been.
"Send them a message and say 'over here, we will mind you'."
