We have four petitions for consideration today. First, No. P00013/24, "Justice and recognition for the state-abused", is from Mx Corwyn Bertrand-Fuchs and states:

I want recognition for those abused in the state-run homes. I want a public apology and the last abusive children's home still open closed. Separate public petition underway.

The secretariat wrote to the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth seeking a response advising of its views within 14 days. The secretariat received a response from the Department on 22 May 2024. The recommendation is that we publish the Department's response. It is recommended that the correspondence from the Department be forwarded to the petitioner for comment within 14 days. Do the members have any views or is that agreed?
