We have three petitions for consideration today. Petition No. 20 of 2021 is "Why we need to dispel old illogical lunacy laws in Ireland which have been amended and repealed.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." from Ms Philomena Geoghegan. This petition relates to a request to dispel old lunacy laws. The secretariat has corresponded with the petitioner and the recommendation is that the petition be considered again upon response from the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and forwarded then to the Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth for its consideration. Do members have any views on that or is it agreed?
