Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee
12th Meeting, 2022
Committees sometimes meet in private. This might be to hear confidential or particularly sensitive information, or to discuss a draft report. When a committee meets in private, its proceedings are not broadcast and, usually, there is no Official Report. However, the committee minutes will record the business taken and any decisions reached.
The Committee will consider the following continued petitions—
PE1887: Create an Unborn Victims of Violence Act, and will take evidence from petitioner Nicola Murray and Julie Ruzgar;
PE1860: New legislation for Prescription and Limitation Act;
PE1864: Increase the ability of communities to influence planning decisions for onshore windfarms;
PE1885: Make offering Community Shared Ownership mandatory for all windfarm development planning proposals;
PE1902: To allow an appeal process for Community Participation Requests; and
PE1917: Provide full legal aid to all parents fighting for access to their children.
