Joint Committee on Public Petitions to consider a range of petitions including one seeking reform of the primary school curriculum

The meeting at 1.30pm in Committee Room 1, Leinster House will also consider a petition seeking an update to the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act 1997 to incorporate offences of cyberbulling, harassment and harmful content. A third petition before the Committee seeks to triple the number of Irish resident observers on foreign election observation missions in the next year.

Committee chairman, Seán Sherlock TD said: “The Committee’s role is to give members of the public the opportunity to place issues of concern directly before the Oireachtas and to influence changes in public policy where appropriate. We will give these petitions our full consideration before announcing, in public session, the decision on each one.”
