The Minister has cleverly anticipated virtually all of what I intended to say in my supplementary contribution. The Minister seems to agree section 2(1)(f) stands out like a sore thumb with the only non-State entity involved. That is reasonable, particularly in light of the fact that management companies are very often defective and do not provide the services they pretend to provide. Still, they pursue the unfortunate owners of the apartments. It is the only element that has a social dimension, without being part of the State, and I wonder if others that fall into the same category had been considered.

The Minister indicated he intends to consider the domestic support order. I wonder if he intended to produce a definition because it seems to be a portmanteau and it would be useful if the Minister considers including definitions on Report Stage.
