I never mentioned the word "registrar". There has been a major lobby by all the churches, from bishops to ordinary members and many others, who asked that this exemption be considered. I may be the only Deputy who got this material but I assure the House I got it from Catholic bishops, Church of Ireland, Baptist and Presbyterian ministers, and many individuals throughout the country. I make no apology of any kind for raising the matter on their behalf. It is not only the registrar issue that worries them but other situations about which many people have been very vocal.
