Mr. Donal Swan:

To be honest, I am not sure I can answer the question to that degree. It is an important issue of access and I know others have mentioned people having that ability. We have been talking a lot at this meeting about this legislation, the equality legislation more generally and, as Deputy Boland termed it, the patchwork of equality legislation. One of the things highlighted to me is the importance of, first, people having effective redress and, second, people having awareness that redress is, or should be, available to them. It is also important that people be able to access that easily. We strongly believe that allowing NGOs and other organisations to assist and support people in bringing those claims is an important part of the process and should be considered in the context of this legislation.
