I thank my colleagues, Deputies O'Loughlin and Deputy O'Callaghan, for drafting the Bill. I also thank the experts before us for attending.

I will play the role of devil's advocate in asking my questions. Ms McElwee spoke about the threshold of proof, broadening the criteria and presenting evidence. To follow through on that argument, does she agree that one could make the same argument in respect of every discrimination ground? Does she fully accept the current equality legislation or is it also too expansive and broad?
