The Minister of State will be aware that Benefacts is a provider of high-quality data to the CSO. It was raised in the Committee of Public Accounts and other places that it looks like it will be closing. It provides information on the non-profit sector here. It is my understanding that its data is relied on by the CSO and without it, there would be a significant gap in the ability to prepare the national accounts. Has the CSO raised any concerns with the Minister of State about the upcoming closure of Benefacts and the end of the provision of that information to the office?
