I recommend that we write to the petitioner, asking him to state specifically the reasons he believes these appointments were illegal under the Planning and Development Act 2000 and to point out the breaches of the legislation.

We should consider the petition at the end of term review, with possible corrective recommendations to be made at that stage as to where the system night have broken down. The petitioner did not outline specifically the grounds on which he felt the Minister was in breach of the Act. I think that would be a reasonable course of action.
