Question 230: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to the fact that there is no obligation on a coroner to hear the views of the next of kin of a deceased person before reaching a decision on whether to hold an inquest; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that penalty provisions within the Coroners Act are totally outdated; when he will introduce revised legislation in Dáil Éireann to deal with the Coroners Service; and if it will deal with these issues.
