Thomas P. Broughan

Ceist:

527 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he has received and reviewed a copy of the National Council of the Forum on End of Life’s April 2011 report — the Funeral Industry in Ireland, the Case for Reform and Regulation; if he will consider introducing new regulations for the funeral service provision sector in view of the fact that there are currently no barriers to entry and no licensing in an industry responsible for the burial and cremation of the approximately 29,000 people who die here each year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21848/12]

I can inform the Deputy that my Department has not received a copy of this report. In addition, regulation of the funeral service provision sector does not fall within my remit as Minister for Justice and Equality.
