I thank Deputy Clare Daly for her comments and apparent agreement on the matter of the mandatory reporting and, as a consequence, the discretionary power on the part of the coroner. Having regard to developments, both in this jurisdiction and across common law jurisdictions, I repeat that it is prudent for us to adopt the discretionary approach contained in the amendment.
