Martin Browne (Tipperary, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Our fourth petition is No. P00020/21, from Ms Philomena Geoghegan, stating "Why we need to dispel old illogical lunacy laws in Ireland, and which have been amended and repealed. This is not enough. They need to be put beyond use by being dispelled. They are the epitome of injustice." The secretariat advises that a letter has been drafted and will be sent, along with a copy of the correspondence from Mr. Robert Watt, once permission is given by the committee. In addition, the secretariat advises that a letter from the Department of Health be forwarded to Miss Geoghegan advising her that we will correspond with the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth on her behalf. Have members any views or are they in agreement with the secretariat?
