Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs
General Scheme of a Certain Institutional Burials (Authorised Interventions) Bill: Discussion
Erin McGreehan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Dr. Maeve O'Rourke noted earlier that a coroner does not need a body to conduct an investigation. Do the witnesses agree that we could have an investigation without a body? Do they think that the conversation has placed exhumation and removal as the central purpose of the Bill, when we might need more restorative justice instead of transitional justice? It is very difficult to find the how, the when and all the circumstances of all the poor wee lives that were lost, but we can restore some justice and try to restore some faith. I would like to know the opinion of the witnesses on that.
