Not at all.

We had a discussion about this. I made the argument on Committee Stage that the issues that the Deputy is seeking to include explicitly were already included. However, we went back to the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. We have tabled an amendment that is quite similar to the amendments Deputies Funchion and Ward tabled.

Amendment No. 31 expands the list of information sources to explicitly refer to religious organisations and communities, including, but not limited to, a diocese or parish of the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Ireland. I would like to highlight the importance of future-proofing this legislation, which is why I do not want to limit the reference to the Catholic Church and to the Church of Ireland. This hopefully addresses the issue and may even go a little beyond what the Deputies had proposed earlier.
