Local Government Reform Bill 2013: Report Stage (Resumed)
6:10 pm
Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I welcome what the Minister has just said. In the context of minority groups, I am sure that the vast majority of Members of this House received correspondence from various Traveller groups which had some concerns about the Bill. I am sure the Minister also received that correspondence and hope the rights of minorities will be considered and not diminished as a result of the Bill. In that regard, the assurances the Minister has given are welcome and will copperfasten this. If he has not received the correspondence to which I refer, including suggested amendments, I will gladly forward it to him. I hope the points raised therein will be considered when the Bill is brought back to the other House if they are not dealt with in this House.
