My concluding point is directed at Mr. Byrne. He pointed out, as did Mr. Dunne, the dramatic changes that have been made to the legislative and policy framework. This is not a criticism of the RTB, but many of those changes have been made without adequate data, so getting to that point Ms Gallagher mentioned is crucial. Within the prioritisation of the work the RTB does and taking account of the many challenges, the sooner we can get to those higher quality data, the quicker all of us here, irrespective of our policy differences, will be able to have a conversation based on more accurate data. I would encourage as much effort as possible to go into that area because we are heading into a difficult number of years, based on the information our guests are giving us, in terms of what is happening with the sector. The better the grip that both the Government and the Opposition have on that, the better informed our debates will be.
