I am going to speak to amendment No. 45 because it is also in this grouping. It states: "In page 35, line 8, after 'violent' to insert 'accidental, homicide, undetermined or suspicious deaths'.” The amendment seeks to expand the criteria in the section under which An Garda Síochána is alerted to evidence of human remains. We believe there is a genuine possibility that some deaths would not be adequately examined if they were to occur now. The amendment is to strengthen the section.
