I put the facts about the CSO data to Mr. Hassett at the meeting. I am sick to my teeth of telling people this, including those in the Government. Mr. Hassett knows this better than anyone. The CSO data come from a CSO official telephoning an insurance company and stating that he or she is from the CSO and the office is looking for a price on a particular insurance policy. Then, the insurance company gives the price and the CSO reports on the change of that policy. Insurance Ireland provides information to the European authority, which compiles a report on insurance. Is that correct?
