No. The Bill is explicit on this in the subsection to which the Deputy referred. It states:
The Minister may, at the request of a body that would not otherwise be included in the definition of “public body” in subsection(1) and with the consent of the Minister of the Government in whom functions in relation to that body are vested.
Such a body would have to have its functions vested with a Minister, and to do so, it would have to be constituted under an Act of the Oireachtas.
