Sinn Féin supports the amendments proposed by our colleagues in the Civil Engagement Group. Just as importantly, we oppose Government amendments Nos. 34 and 37. Let us be clear that what they are actually about is further narrowing and serving to exclude more people. We do not like that and are going to oppose it. In the Minister's favour, he is making it very clear here that his aim is to exclude people. That is exactly what these amendments do.
