I acknowledge that the Minister is trying to get the balance right rather than choke the life out of all these organisations with regulation. During the Second Stage debate I referred to the exemptions provided under the Bill in respect of persons who help out on an occasional basis. There could potentially be situations where people undertaking maintenance works or cleaning in clubs and organisations would be circulating in communal or dressing room areas. Is the legislation tight enough in this respect? While such persons might come under the umbrella of an exemption, by virtue of the examples given, they could come in contact with children.
