Dominic Hannigan (Labour)

This amendment arises from the debate on Committee Stage when the Labour Party sought to include the words, "economic, cultural, ethnic or other". At the time, the Minister of State stated that in his view, the word "social" includes "economic". While I do not dispute this, I merely seek to set down in writing that the word "social" includes "economic, cultural, ethnic or other". It is more or less in line with the comments of the Minister of State on Committee Stage and as a result, he should accept this minor amendment.
