I will refer to a number of petitions on which we have had a chance to deliberate and all of which have been deemed inadmissible. They are: Petition No. 1/13 from Mr. Guy Le Jeune seeking the introduction of legislation to criminalise non-delivery of commitments made during election and referendum campaigns; petition No. 13/13 from Mr. Anthony McMahon regarding an alleged miscarriage of justice - the petitioner was asking the committee to re-examine a High Court ruling; petition No. 20/13 from Mr. Eamonn O'Connor regarding a driving licence issue with Dublin County Council; petition No. 66/12 from Mr. Desmond Lafferty regarding an anomaly in jurisprudence; petition No. 68/12 from Mr. Maurice Goodman regarding the return of probity, proper adjudication practices and hence accountability. The five petitioners will be issued with correspondence from the committee outlining why we deemed them to be inadmissible.

The other petitions for consideration today are Nos. 50/12, 70/12 and 71/12, all relating to the height and overhanging of trees and hedges in gardens. petition No. 50/12 is from Mr. Michael Byrne, petition No. 70/12 is from Mr. Denis Moran and petition No. 71/12 is from Dr. Jean Clark. We have had a chance to deliberate on these petitions, so it is open to members to make their recommendation.
