David Norris (Independent)

I find the Minister of State's argument quite persuasive. The phrase "any action" is a portmanteau — it covers everything. On this occasion I agree with the Minister of State that by including this specification, we are, at best, creating a hierarchy and suggesting that these are the most important and, at worse, as the Minister of State said, suggesting to a person who will interpret this legislation that matters outside this list were not actively contemplated by the legislation. I will support the Minister of State in this regard.
