I suspect the petitioner's idea that video games should be included in the English curriculum would cause great concern and debate because I am sure a number of people would argue this should not be the case. However, he has an interesting idea and this is a good example of where committees in the Oireachtas can be joined up because the Joint Committee on Education and Social Protection is having a meeting on 13 March relating to digital literacy and e-learning. It is appropriate that Mr. Dwan's petition should be passed to that joint committee as it is already part of its work programme. He would welcome the fact that it would be discussed at the aforementioned committee and members therefore should close the petition, while explaining to Mr. Dwan what has happened to it.
