Eoin Ó Broin: Notwithstanding that, resourcing and delays in the board were a problem prior to the recent controversy. What that controversy and the board member changes Mr. Lawlor mentioned did was to accelerate that to another level, but there has been a historical under-resourcing there.

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Further Revised) (23 Feb 2023) Eoin Ó Broin: I want to start with the home completion figures for last year. As the Minister knows, the CSO data are based on ESB connections and it has a pretty sophisticated methodology to try to clean those figures compared with the previous methodology used by the Department. The issue that has arisen is not about the integrity of the CSO but the difference between ESB connection data and completion...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Further Revised) (23 Feb 2023) Eoin Ó Broin: Let me press the Minister on that, because my question is not about the integrity of the CSO. I was, in fact, one of the people who argued it should have this responsibility.

They are public data inputted onto the building control management system, run by the Local Government Management Association. The Minister is correct that it is a private company. I am not making representations on behalf of anybody. The company has done an analysis and has published it....

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Further Revised) (23 Feb 2023) Eoin Ó Broin: I know, but the Minister is deflecting from the question so I will ask it one more time. There are two sets of public data, namely, those based on ESB connections and those based on completion certificates. They are both public data. They are giving us two different figures. All I am asking is how the Minister explains the difference between those two figures.
