We have. The Taoiseach is exactly right. Covid threw up such a dynamic situation that data got parked for a little while because we were looking at situations that were just so extreme. It was very difficult to parse the numbers on that level. One issue is that the performance indicators from Departments present a particular challenge. They have to be contextualised within gender equality and social inclusion. We do not want to be constantly changing them because a performance indicator that changes every year is meaningless. It is tricky. I take that point completely. We do not want constant change but they need to be contextualised in the right way.
