David Norris (Independent)

There may have been some confusion because Senator Henry put the amendment down originally. We all got the same list of amendments and then she teased the matter out with the Minister of State, who may have assumed that she was the proposer. It is somewhat confusing, a little like the difference between public and private functions, organs, etc.

The Minister of State seemed to suggest that even what we think of as private institutions, when carrying out a public function, may already be covered by this legislation and that any institution established by law is automatically covered. Is that correct?
