On a point of clarification, I think the CSO subsequently corrected the figures. It was found that the gap in incomes did not widen according to the SILC measurement. It was necessary to readjust the 2010 figures because there had been a mistake. It was found that the level of inequality had increased marginally between 2010 and 2011 when the figures were readjusted.
