Question 390: To ask the Minister for Health and Children if it is standard practice for the Health Service Executive to pay the costs of repatriating the bodies of Irish citizens who die overseas; if there is a means test involved; and if so, the eligibility criteria. [5207/07]

I understand that on rare occasions the Health Service Executive does assist with the cost of repatriating the bodies of Irish citizens who die overseas. My Department has asked the Executive for information on this matter and will be in communication with the Deputy as soon as it becomes available.
