We will now go into public session to record the decisions of the committee. Petition No.48/12 from Mr. Patrick Martin, claiming that his father was murdered in disputed circumstances in 1979. Additionally, the petitioner alleges corruption on the part of the Garda Síochána in reporting the death of his father, together with collusion between the Garda, the attending doctor, the Coroner and the County Registrar. The petition is deemed to be inadmissible under the committee's standing orders in that it names individuals, contains language which is in the nature of being defamatory, is asking the Dáil to do something which it does not have the power to do and is asking the committee to consider an individual complaint which has already been determined by a District Court and the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission.
