Housing in Ireland - Census 2016 Results: Central Statistics Office

Mr. Pádraig Dalton:

It varies from country to country but generally if one changes the legislation, one does not apply it retrospectively. For example, if we agreed now to change it and to release the data after 75 years, that would only apply from 2021 forward. To do it retrospectively is to change the goalposts.
