If I may make a point about petitions, the petitions committee is not in a position, per se, to lend support to something. While I am the only person to have ever made a documentary about the historic mills of Ireland, I would have a particular interest in Kilmainham Mill as something that ought to be saved. Unfortunately, the purpose of this committee is not to lend support to endeavours in that way but rather its purpose is an oversight one. Perhaps we should make that clear to prospective petitioners so that they are not under the misconception that we can offer such support when that is not our role.
