Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008: Committee Stage
1:00 pm
Brendan Ryan (Labour)
I am slightly disappointed with that. When something is referred to in previous legislation in a particular way, that should not be a reason for not doing something which is beneficial and will enhance the Bill. Adding "economic or cultural" would extend the meaning, and we would not have to rely on what is customarily understood in the use of the word "social". I am disappointed with the Minister of State's response but I do not intend to push it to a vote. I ask that he reconsider.
