On Deputy Ó Snodaigh's point, FLAC has a great deal of experience dealing with people where something has been drafted in such a way that it has produced problems. We want to avoid that kind of situation because we will end up with appeals and it becomes expensive to administer, apart from the fact it would single out particular groups.

I am sure the Minister has had the benefit of the FLAC submission. How does she evaluate the points it made in regard to the different types of information and how it might be handled? Does she believe there is a possibility that it would lead to some discriminatory practices?
