Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality

As the Deputy may be aware, my Department publishes annual statistics on the number of deaths reported to each Coroner, the number of post mortem examinations ordered by each Coroner and the number of inquests held by each Coroner. These statistics are published on www.coroners.ie. Figures on the number of workplace deaths reported to Coroners are not held by my Department.
