Committee on Public Petitions

Irish Ombudsman Forum: Discussion

Ms Justice Mary Ellen Ring:

On the issue of the name, as indicated, the prior committee was named the Joint Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions. That perhaps encompassed the role we are looking for in very succinct terminology. I urge the committee to look at the report of 21 January 2016 because some of these issues were debated by the then committee. Many of the recommendations and conclusions, five years down the road, are still good recommendations and conclusions. Why reinvent the wheel if that work is done?
