I will move to an issue I have raised a number of times on missing persons and the lack of co-ordination of information. I am aware the coroners have assembled a list of 44 unidentified sets of remains. In 2019, I proposed there be a central person appointed to oversee this. Now we have got some work done on this, is the Department going to do further work in the form of having far more co-ordination between the Garda, the coroners, the hospitals etc.? Is that likely to be considered by the Department?
