It was not in my questioning. If people watched the committee yesterday, they will have seen a ding-dong between the Minister and me when he would not answer my questions. He suggested that is more a feeling involving where sales, PRSI levels, the sale of cement and the construction industry are at. They are data on car sales, etc. They are publicly available data of which he is perhaps getting advance notice from the CSO. I am not sure. My question related more to a structural issue. If the council was not getting the up-to-date soft data, it would be something to address.
