I propose that the report from the local authority be sent to both petitioners for their views and that the official bodies be asked for an update on the current situation. Is that agreed? Agreed. I also propose that both petitions be published.

Petition No. 10/21 is entitled "Abolish the restricted dogs list in favour of Deed Not Breed". The petitioner's name is Mr. David Ward. A reply was received from the Department of Community and Rural Development. I propose that the petition be published; that the reply from the Department be published; and that we send the correspondence from the Department to Mr. Ward and ask him if he is satisfied with the reply. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Petition No. 12/21 is in the name of Mr. Niall Campbell. I suggest that this petition is inadmissible as it contains the name or names of individuals, contrary to Standing Order 127(d). I propose that the name of the individual be redacted from the petition when published. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Next on the agenda was the election of the Vice Chairman which we agreed at the earlier meeting would be put off until after the recess.

We are well over the time. On any other business, would any member like to make any final comments as this is our last scheduled meeting?
