Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

The Deputy is correct. Something we were very conscious of at the beginning of the pandemic was the potential and the great unknown about how this would all play out. We established a dedicated team in March-April 2020 in respect of coroners and the pathology services generally. Obviously, the Office of the State Pathologist is under the Department. The pathologists in hospitals are under the HSE, so there can be quite a complicated provision there. I will ask Ms Buckley to comment on this.
