I intend to introduce an amendment to section 20 of the principal Act on Report Stage with the intention of permitting a designating officer of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, to act in circumstances where the Garda cannot to assist a coroner and to amend the current provision for an inspector of the Garda to request a coroner from an adjoining district to hold an inquest by providing instead that it would be for the Minister to direct a coroner or deputy coroner in this regard. I will have the amendments available as soon as possible.
