I also intend to table an amendment to section 67 on Report Stage. Forensic Science Ireland advised that the current provisions in the Bill may make it more difficult to link any additional remains from the same deceased person who may be tested. This can arise in situations like in Tuam where there may be difficulties in fully individualising remains and more than one bone is sent from the same person for forensic testing. I am considering an amendment that would facilitate a more direct way of linking a second and subsequent bone from the same person of a family member.
