Is that agreed? Agreed. The next petition is P00055/12 from Ms Evelyn Flynn, Irish Cob Society, regarding the revocation of ICS approvals by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine on 30 November 2012 to maintain the Irish cob studbooks and to issue equine identification passports. I suggest we write back to the petitioner advising that because it is not apparent that ICS has exhausted all the appeals processes with the Department, we would not be in a position to examine the matter and direct it in terms of the appropriate bodies to which it should appeal. The option of the Ombudsman is also available. Is that agreed? Agreed.

The next is petition P00079/12 regarding a request for the re-examination of the course of action taken by Galway County Council when refusing a section 44 application - revocation of planning - of the Planning and Development Act 2000. I will open it up to members.
