I will ask a parliamentary question on that, so.

On the coroner service, we passed legislation last night. I am not sure whether it has gone through the Seanad but the Dáil certainly passed Final Stage. What happens in this regard in terms of the regulatory impact assessment and requirements for additional staff? There are delays in the coroner courts. They really do affect people because they elongate the grieving process. Is the legislation likely to have a positive impact if the resources are made available?
