The joint committee is agreeing to the recommendation made by Deputy Nolan. The next point to make concerns petitions P00074/12 and P00064/12, both of which are inadmissible. The reason for the inadmissibility of P00074/12 is that it has been raised with the Ombudsman and any matter that is currently under her eye is not something members will second-guess or with which they will deal. Petition P00064/12 is inadmissible because the petitioner has not demonstrated that she has taken all actions to raise this issue herself with the appropriate bodies. However, in respect of the aforementioned petitions P00074/12 and P00064/12, I propose that the joint committee will correspond to the effect they were inadmissible while also making the petitioners aware of its decision in respect of petition P00075/12, which is linked to their concerns. Is that agreed?
