The Deputy will be aware that the Coroners Bill 2007 is before the Seanad, having been restored to the Order Paper on the initiative of my predecessor.
While I would wish to be in a position to progress this important Bill, it is not possible for me to indicate the likely timetable with any certainty at this point. However, I have requested my officials to complete the review of the Bill in order to set out a firm plan for progressing it, having regard to other pressing commitments. I then hope to be in a better position to clarify the matter in the coming months.
