I welcome that statement from the Minister of State. While I accept it may not be the intention of the Minister of State to exclude any group, certainly there is an element of fear within the community groups that they are being excluded. That is the reason they contacted me and I have no doubt they contacted many other Deputies. That the Minister of State is taking our concerns on board and will explore the issue before Report Stage is welcome.
