Mr. Gerard Brady:

There has been a lot of progress in recent years. Bodies, such as the CSO, in particular, are brilliant in the information they provide. If you look at the Departments, there are limits to how much can be provided; some things are not public for a reason. They have made improvements, particularly in the last five or six years. More can always be done on open data, particularly when we look at the budget or tax. One of the best examples is Revenue and the ready reckoner it produces before the budget each year. It is helpful for bodies like us in trying to cost budget submissions so we do not just come with a list; it actually helps from that perspective. The more of that can be done, the better.
