Ms Colette Bennett:

If I may, there are reasons for that also. First, because it is a comparative report, we need to be able to use the same data as the other EU-14 countries. Second, and this is very similar to Ms Carmody's point, much of the data just are not available, or up-to-date data are not available. Back in 2018, we wrote to the then Minister about data gaps and we looked for additional resources to be provided to the CSO to bridge those gaps and to make sure that we had more robust data on which we could base our index.
