Committee on Public Petitions

Promoting Awareness of the Public Petitions Process: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Graham Long:

The information on the Oireachtas site is clear and it is quite obvious what a petitioner has to do. Of all the material the committee has there, the one aspect I might have looked at again is the form the person must fill in to send the petition, which is quite long. Some parts of the form are not explained. There is a bit of room for improvement. Otherwise, I was really impressed with it.
