I move amendment No. 30:

In page 16, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following: “(c) any reliable evidence from a third party with knowledge of the circumstances and location of the burials concerned.”.

The purpose of this amendment is to expand the list of people who can provide evidence that the director will be obliged to take into consideration. The bar to be met to corroborate evidence is high and may, in some circumstances, rule out pertinent local knowledge and-or evidence.
