That goes without saying and I think it will be done. Has NERI as an organisation, as well as other organisations operating in the North, such as Queen's University, Ulster University and others, collectively requested that the data be done in a way that things can be measured? This is part of the problem. If we cannot measure what is going on, we are never going to end up with the solutions.

What people want to know is whether they would be better off in a united Ireland or staying the same. We have to be able to answer those questions. What this committee is trying to do is to be able to objectively answer those questions while looking back. It is almost like a protectionism of the data so that people do not know. If they knew they would be able to find solutions and be in charge of their own affairs. There is something weird going on here.
