I have two other amendments, Nos. 13 and 20, on the issue of community education. I do not know whether the Minister of State has given a commitment in regard to the general functions. My amendment No. 13 seeks the deletion of paragraphs (d) and (e) of section 7 and the inclusion of adult learners and community education providers. I do not know whether the Minister of State has given a commitment to examine the whole area in terms of general functions or whether the commitment was only in respect of section 7(1)(b).
