It is a bit unfortunate that the Minister is talking about introducing amendments wholesale on Report Stage. There was the possibility of one amendment to be flagged for Report Stage in yesterday's discussions. The committee already scheduled a meeting for Committee Stage a number of weeks ago to try to conclude this Bill but that was postponed because the Minister indicated a wish to include a load of other amendments. We assumed those would be dealt with today but now we have references beginning to creep in for amendments we have not yet heard about. Given that the order for Second Stage of the Coroners Bill 2015 was moved by me exactly three years and one day ago, what is going on? It is grand if they are only minor amendments.
