I support the amendment but will await the Minister of State's response on community not-for-profit education. It is reasonable to exempt that sector but it may be the case that it is already accepted under the cover of the ETBs. In any event, it is a reasonable proposition and a good amendment which is supported by Aontas, which is one of the organisations that has been vocal on the issue. Likewise, if the pre-existing insurance cover for a school or institution is superior to what is proposed in this procedure, I see no difficulty in such a school or institution maintaining that cover. Presumably, it is running a good operation.
