Written Answers. - Gross National Product.

Ruairí Quinn

Question:

535 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the measure of GNP used within his Department for official purposes; if his Department is using the CSO agreed exhaustive ESA95 figures; if not, when it will update its figures to incorporate this new standard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21732/99]

As the Deputy will be aware economic indicators are not the standard measurement by which the performance of security and social policies by my Department are evaluated. Accordingly GNP is not used as a measurement for any official purposes by my Department.
