I am glad the Deputy is not pressing this amendment because I agree with the Minister of State. The amendment would make section 4 excessively restrictive. I acknowledge the Deputy is concerned that it may be too qualified but if the provision at the end of section 2A is deleted, it would be unconstitutional. It is just stating that it shall not be deemed reasonable if special treatment or facilities are not provided. There must be some wriggle room for it.
