Mr. John Moran:

It is perhaps not just the Department but the whole of Government which is moving towards an environment in which we are able to use the information that is across the whole system in a much more automated way than is currently the case. We can use some of the work that has been done by the Central Statistics Office and others, and have a greater investment in using this type of stuff, because we are in a world of open data. However, we are not necessarily in a position yet where those techniques are finding their way into the cohesive whole of government approach.
