It is the view of the committee that we should keep the petition open as it is a live issue which mainly affects women. I am happy to await the update from the Department. It would be appropriate for the committee to keep the petition open on that basis. I think we are agreed on that. I acknowledge the visitors in the Public Gallery who I understand may be guests of Deputy Brendan Ryan.

The final petition for consideration is Petition No. P00048/18 relating to motor tax issues. It is proposed that we forward a copy of the response from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport to the petitioner and close the petition. Is that agreed? Agreed.
