In the UK, the Lord Chancellor appointed a chief coroner who has a full range of powers to drive up standards. What is the view of the Garda on how the coroner service in Ireland could be more proactive in assisting in efforts to identify remains found in each coroner's jurisdiction? Would it be beneficial for coroners to continue to be actively involved in reviewing cases and to become involved in a review of cold cases relating to unidentified persons who were buried in cemeteries and, in some cases, forgotten? Would An Garda Síochána support a public database of unidentified deceased persons in Ireland similar to that in the UK and the US? Will the Commissioner respond to those points?
