This petition is very interesting and it is great to see members of the public coming forward to engage with The Gathering and seeking to find ways to use pre-existing resources to support both The Gathering and, as this petitioner suggests, other future activities. Perhaps it is appropriate to pass to the petitioner the information that has been gathered on behalf of the joint committee but to declare the petition closed because in a way, it is a proposal rather than a petition and does not quite fall within the joint committee's remit. Her idea certainly can be used, perhaps through the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
