I refer to going to the health committee or whichever committee members said. The petition's committee is here for petitions. We have the same rights as the health committee or any other committee which have the likes of Tusla, HIQA or anyone else in front of them. It is not about whether "it is the case". It is the case and they should be brought in front of us. We have the same authority and standing as any other committee in this House. I am not saying it is something for the health committee. There are things going around all the different committees and it is dragging on too long. Bring them in and let us see where it goes. If two committees have to deal with it, there is nothing wrong with that either.
