David Norris (Independent)

This is precisely the problem highlighted in the submission I made when I spoke first on this amendment. Those working in Respond, as a result of the discussion in the Dáil, were aware of the introduction of the clause. Virtually everything I said indicated their unhappiness with it. The Minister of State has not responded to their continuing unhappiness. He has responded very fairly to the initial situation and I accept everything he says in that regard. However, in my contribution I pointed out that the charities involved believe there are further difficulties which have not been addressed by section 89. Will the Minister of State consider the matter further?
