I cannot accept these amendments in their current form but I understand and welcome the intention behind them. I am particularly supportive of the spirit of amendment No. 40 and I am willing to consider a revision to section 10(b)(iii) to explicitly refer to identifying the circumstances and cause of death, where that is possible. I will also look at whether the description of the post-recovery analysis report in section 36 could make more explicit reference to any evidence of violent or unnatural death that should be shared with An Garda Síochána and the coroner. I can also look at whether changes can be made to the Long Title. I will have to engage with the Attorney General's office and the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel, but we will examine the points the Deputy brought forward.
