That would be great. I want to link that to the unemployment and other social changes that happened in that time. Significant changes occurred during that period.

I was interested to hear what the HSE had to say about what happens where people on a medical card have died and appreciate there is a link now with the registry of deaths. I imagine a significant number of those people on medical cards are also in receipt of some sort of benefit, whether a pension, social welfare and so on. Would it be possible to link that to social welfare also?
