Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael)

I understand Deputies Boyd Barrett and Daly are the only two Members who have raised this concern with the CSO. I answered questions on this issue during the Adjournment debate last week and have returned to it again this morning. The Central Statistics Office has been answering questions on the national airwaves and on all occasions, its representatives have mentioned the office's confidentiality and the manner in which it runs its business. I reiterate that confidentiality is a huge issue and will continue to be so for the operation of the CSO.
