Absolutely, because you can't predict what the outcomes are going to be.
So if you're going, I'm trying to support, you know, combating a narrative that's out there.
But in fact, there is an indication in the in the narrative that or in the figures that, yes, has been a leap in, you know, non-nationals gaining social housing to a proportion that people weren't expecting.
Are you prepared for what the consequence of that is, you know?
And then there's been talk about what's, you know, is there another motive about wanting this kind of transparency on data?
I think the key thing here is, and interesting, if you go to the CSO website, they have what's quite a famous philosophy about data on there.
And it's published the statistics protect the individuals.
And I think that's where the decision would have to be made here is like it can be useful.
And like social housing is a public service funded by taxpayers.
Aggregate statistics can be really useful in policymaking, deciding, look, what schools we need.
We need more Catholic schools.
We need non-denomination because there's a growth in population in that or whatever.
So they can be used in that way.
You do and you risk identifying people and then you also don't have context.
You only have data and data without context can be dangerous.
A caveat, for example, would be that nationality alone could be misleading.
You could have non-nationals that have lived and worked in Ireland for decades, paid taxes, have children here who are Irish citizens.
And what is that information then?
How is it going to be useful?
Or weaponised.
