Scottish Parliament Public Petitions Committee Wednesday 17 January 2007

[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:01]

The Convener (Michael McMahon):

Good morning, everyone, and welcome to this morning's meeting of the Public Petitions Committee, which is our first meeting of 2007. I welcome Rosie Kane back to the committee; she was unable to attend some of our meetings before Christmas. Our thoughts have been with you over the difficult time that you have had recently.

I thank everyone very much; I appreciate that.

The Convener:

Before we begin our consideration of petitions, I welcome to the meeting Senator Mary O'Rourke and her colleagues from the Irish Senate, who will take an interest in this morning's proceedings. We will hold a discussion with them once we have concluded our business. I welcome you all.
