We are in full agreement with Senator Murphy. Now that Covid is lifting, the press office in the Oireachtas should get the message out to the public so they can see how this committee works. As everybody has said, it is a very important committee. It can be very important to people at a local level with what may be considered minor issues. For those who go to the trouble of submitting a petition, it is the big worry in their everyday lives, no matter what anybody else thinks about how big or small it is. For the person who goes to the trouble of sending in a petition to our committee it needs to be recognised.
Deputy Devlin is still smiling. If he is up for the TikTok we can all do one and we can see how much it passes on.
