Harry Browne

addressing the wrong problem.

Can I say there's actually a solution in both what Louise and Harry are saying there is that what the councillors are saying that they're trying to provide is transparency.

They're saying transparency will calm and build trust.

And the transparency needed is not necessarily like here's data everybody interpreted for themselves.

As you say, Harry, what's the threshold that will make people happy who are already feeding into a particular narrative?

But there is transparency on processes, which is in order to get X, Y and Z, you have to meet these criteria.

If it makes really, really clear what those processes are, like something like, you know, citizen information is an amazing resource.

They actually are brilliant at speaking directly.

I think just get the person who writes the citizensinformation.ie website on and get them to write a primer on who's entitled to what.

is, you know, that's the kind of transparency that's useful.

What we're seeing here maybe is a little bit of a panicked, knee-jerk reaction to people are asking for this.

I need to give it, like, calm second.

You're a public representative.

What's the most useful, positively impactful way of doing this?

And we actually have the information.

That's the solution.

Give transparency on the processes.

Just giving stats on their own is actually going to either cause more panic, feed into a misinformation narrative that's already there, just not solve the issue.

People want to pass

They're making money off this stuff, you know?
