Mr. Pádraig Dalton:

One of the ways we check for false information is looking at trends across time. If there are any unusual patterns, that obviously raises flags. We have access to a broad range of data sources. For every statistic we compile, we examine a broad range of indicators and use that to ensure the information we are getting is broadly consistent with what one would expect.
