I agree that the amount of work done by the secretariat in dealing with these petitions is astronomical. I thank the clerk, Ms Maggie Semple, and all of the staff of the secretariat for their efforts.

Petition No. 36 of 2022 regarding the reopening of emergency departments at Ennis, Nenagh and St. John's Hospital, Limerick, is from Ms. Noeleen Moran. The committee recommends that the response from University Limerick Hospitals Group be forwarded to the petitioner for comment within 14 days, that the petition and the correspondence from UL Hospitals Group be sent to the Minister for Health and that the HSE be advised of same. It further recommends that the petition and the response from UL Hospitals Group be referred to the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health for consideration and that inquiries be made by the secretariat as to whether this matter is included in that committee's work programme. Is that agreed?
