Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 June 2021
186. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Justice the status of the progress made on finding the remains of a person (details supplied) from County Tipperary who was granted a posthumous pardon in 2016; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33652/21]
View answerI wish to assure the Deputy that it remains my Department’s objective to do what can be done to identify and return the remains of the person to whom he refers.
A range of steps have been taken to date, which have been of assistance, but which have also highlighted the complexity and scale of the project. Taking the project further has also been hampered by the restrictions on movement in response to the Covid - 19 pandemic. My Department will continue to try to make progress to identify and return the remains of the person in question who was granted a posthumous pardon in 2016.
