I am not accusing the Department of having a secret set of figures. I could understand it if the Department had many iterations of what was ongoing and that it might not necessarily want to share figures for a "nuclear fallout" or worst case scenario. The Minister is saying the most likely scenario affects the creation of approximately 50,000 jobs and that there would be more people on the live register, etc.
