I thank the Deputy. As I said before, the sole disapplication we are seeking to achieve with this legislation is around the actual carrying out of an exhumation, which is one of the powers set out in the Coroner's Act and in the Local Government Act.
We do not believe it is appropriate that three bodies would have jurisdiction over an exhumation.
