That is agreed. The next petition is No. 42 of 2024, "Vote against the migration pact", from Mr. Ciarán McMahon. I suggest that we push this back. A court case is going on at the minute about the migration pact. A vote was not taken on it last night in the Dáil and there is a High Court injunction. I feel that we should refer it to another meeting and see what way the court case goes before the vote is taken. Is that agreed? Agreed. The recommendation is that we publish the response from the Department of Justice and that the correspondence from the Department of Justice be forwarded to the petitioner for comment within 14 days.

That concludes our consideration of public petitions this afternoon. I invite members of the public to submit petitions via our online portal, which is available at petitions.oireachtas.ie. A petition may be addressed to the Houses of the Oireachtas on a matter of general public concern or interest or an issue of public policy.

Do members have any issues that they wish to raise?
