Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 January 2014
522. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will ensure that a death certificate is issued in respect of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2844/14]
View answerUnder the Coroners Act, 1962, a Coroner is a statutory officer exercising quasi-judicial functions in relation to which he or she is independent and neither I nor my Department has any role in individual cases.
However, to be of assistance, general inquiries have been made in connection with the matter raised by the Deputy and I understand that the family involved has been in direct contact with the Coroner.
