I intend to bring forward an amendment to section 40 (3) of the principal Act, which suspends any obligation to have a jury in place if the inquest has been adjourned at the request of An Garda Síochána. I intend to reflect the intended amendments that are described in section 25, with particular reference to requests of adjournment of the coroner's inquest made by various statutory bodies other than An Garda Síochána, which might be charged with the investigation of deaths and including GSOC.
