Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Mark Ward (Dublin Mid West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
This amendment seeks to expand the remit in which a director can make an intervention at a burial site. The existing section 3 places unnecessary restrictions on the director and could preclude an effective excavation of specific sites. This provision could foreseeably impact on the potential dig in Tuam and have the result that some but not all of the site is excavated and some but not all of the remains are recovered and identified.
