Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

I acknowledge the Deputy's role in highlighting this in the past. The Minister, Deputy McEntee, announced last year we would collate this data set. We have worked closely with the coroners. Forensic Science Ireland is obviously the other key element, along with the Garda missing persons unit, in compiling and publishing the information. It is a good first step and I agree it is a first step. We need to keep iterating on this. We have co-ordinated it in the Department. We have worked closely with the Garda missing persons unit, which is another key area. I spoke to the Commissioner recently about the Garda doing more in this space as well. There is very much an appetite to keep building on the groundwork that has been done up to this point.
