We have three petitions for consideration today. The summary notes and recommendations in regard to the petitions were circulated and discussed in private session with a view to the decisions on them being taken in public session. I suggest that we consider petitions 42/21 and 48/21 together. Petition 42/21 is in regard to saving the services at Owenacurra Centre, Midleton, County Cork. Petition 48/21 is in regard to a similar matter. Following on from the discussion on these petitions in private session, it was agreed to invite the HSE in on this matter, but be fair to the Owenacurra Centre and St. Brigid's hospital committees, I think we should invite them in first. It is the function of this committee to allow organisations and committees to petition it on particular issues. We can invite the HSE in at a later date. Would anyone like to add to that?
