Vote 4 - Central Statistics Office (11 Apr 2019) Seán Fleming: I have a non-financial question on county income and GDP. I regularly see on a regional basis and sometimes on a county basis, average income per household. It outlines how well off a county is and how far below Dublin we all are in annual income. They always seem to be quite a few years old when we get them. Can important statistics like that not be more up to- date? I think they relate...

Vote 4 - Central Statistics Office (11 Apr 2019) Seán Fleming: That is my question. I ask for a detailed note in respect of the State balance sheet, which is often referred to here.

Vote 4 - Central Statistics Office (11 Apr 2019) Seán Fleming: It did not help in how the CSO was seen. I have noted that the CSO frequently uses the word "independent". It looked like a pawn of the Government in that. It was making a case that did not make sense to people because most of Irish Water's income was coming from public sources. The bid did not succeed. I know the Department of Finance was probably very supportive of it. Before this...
