I wish to refer to the provisions in regard to the Equality Authority and the new jurisdiction for the District Court. I am concerned that these will create inconsistency and an anomaly in that other equality cases go to the equality tribunal, but these will not. Senator Norris raised concerns about these provisions and I agree with him in that regard. People might not be prepared to go to court, whereas they may be more inclined to go to the equality tribunal. The mediation function of the investigation officer of the tribunal will not be available in the District Court. Costs will now be a factor, but they were not in the case of the equality tribunal and that will be a deterrent in the bringing of cases. I appreciate the concerns about people abusing the equality legislation, but that matter is dealt with in the part of the legislation concerned with drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The latter are different issues from that of equality. Although they might sometimes be confused, it is wrong to roll back the equality legislation as a way to deal with people who abuse facilities in public houses.
