Ms Catriona Doherty:

On the extension of the training, it is important it is extended to the coroner's service, the staff members of which have a great deal of contact with the victims of homicide but do not have specific training in that regard. The provision of information is vital and could be extended to the HSE. While respecting the independence of the legal profession, I think some level of training, whether optional or not, must be considered.
