I want to go back to a point raised by Senators Horkan and Conway-Walsh on the insurance industry. Insurance Ireland tells us it holds a significant amount of information on the industry, which is available. Is it within the remit of the CSO to conduct a survey on issues relative to motor insurance, including the reasons for the hike and the type of claims being made, including the 70% on which we do not have visibility? As the CSO would do with some sectors in the economy, would it write to all of them asking for specific information and bring it back in?
