We are moving towards the digitalisation of the census, which is probably the biggest source of data for the State. If we deploy the data that is gathered in an effective way, we can ensure a more efficient management of resources and target particular things in particular ways. From the next census gathering in 2027 this is going to happen and we will have a huge bank of data then. What safeguards do we need to put in place to allow the State to use that census data to inform decision-making?
