Ms Tara O'Sullivan:

Information about the committee should be included on the CSPE syllabus. We learn a lot in CSPE, mostly relating to the Government. The syllabus explains what the Dáil and Seanad are and so on but it does not contain information on the Committee on Public Petitions. As members said, it is a relatively new committee but it and other committees should be dealt with in the CSPE syllabus. I do not remember learning of any Oireachtas committees in CSPE. It would be very valuable and relevant to do so.
