That is when the Government or the Minister of the day would have to engage with relatives, ascertain views and seek to make its decision and justify its substantive reasons. My sense is that if there was a strong view among a significant proportion of relatives that there was a need for intervention, it would it be difficult not to do that. Again, we are talking in the abstract here, but if there is a situation where there is near unanimity among relatives that they do not want this site touched, and they have their view on the importance of leaving remains untouched, the legislation has to allow for that situation as well.
