I am shocked that we are back to it in 2021. I note a number of recommendations there as well. The first petition, that the secretariat advises is similar to a petition that was submitted, is the one the Chairman covered to make the two the same petition. However, it was what has been alleged here, on, I suppose, the Shannon Estuary. It says here that there are currently legal proceedings, and the club mentioned is under investigation by both Waterways Ireland and Westmeath County Council. We never got an update on that on the previous petitions committee because the Government fell. On that basis, I appeal to the rest of the members to have a look at the two recommendations. If we are joining the two of these together, my personal view is that recommendation 1 is the more proportionate and proper one to get responses to see what is happening with it.
