The issue of supermarkets is a live one. I understand from the Minister of State's comments that this amendment probably concerns rural scenarios, but slips and falls in supermarkets constitute a real cost to business.

Deputy Kenny mentioned people going onto lands looking for trouble rather than a rural idyll. They might even be looking for a fall thinking there might be a windfall at the far side of that depending on how they fall. My understanding is this amendment tries to put paid to that.
