There were a lot of distressing parts in the "Prime Time Investigates" programme and I am very sensitive in putting the questions to the Minister given that families might be listening in. There was a report that the burial space for the interment of organs in this State is full. Obviously, there are capacity issues there. Unsuccessful attempts were made to find an alternative plot. It was decided that cremation was not an option. While we need to conduct a review around what happened, we also must ensure that it does not happen again. Is this separate to the review of what happened and will it form part of the Minister's approach to this?
