We have all had pets that have passed to different places. They just become part of a family so regarding having one stolen, something needs to happen. I think resolving this and bringing in legislation in response to that will get wide-spread cross-party support in this committee. We will write to the Minister of State, Deputy Browne, to see where the legislation he was talking about is. We will also write to the Department if we have to and see what answers come back.

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 other business they wish to raise? I thank all the staff for the work they do on our behalf and wish everybody a good summer.
