I thank Deputy Ó Snodaigh. Everybody is trying to do the same thing here for families going through the trauma of a stillbirth. The case Deputy O'Dea mentioned is particularly unfortunate. There can be unforeseen consequences of amending the legislation. Stillbirth registrations have taken place. There seems to be a particular problem here. The coroners have been written to notifying them of the Attorney General's advice. I hope this will resolve the matter. I thank Deputy O'Dea for being constructive and not pressing the amendment.
