The Schedule is not subject to the exemption given to those bodies that I listed in section 5(3)(k). The Schedule identifies the bodies which are not public service bodies for the purpose of the Bill. Essentially, the Schedule at the end of the Bill represents the commercial semi-State sector. These bodies do not enjoy the exemption that I have set out in section 5(3)(k).
