511. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the extent to which resources continue to be made available to the State pathologist’s office to ensure the earliest possible conclusion of examination of the victim takes place in the shortest possible time thereby facilitating early detection; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I refer the Deputy to the reply to Question No. 618 on Wednesday 30 April, 2014. As stated then, it is a matter for the State Pathologist to determine how her Office operates and in that regard the necessary operational arrangements had been put in place by the State Pathologist to ensure the continued efficient running of her Office. I can advise the Deputy that this continues to be the case and, additionally, that the appointment of a replacement Deputy State Pathologist is being actively pursued by my Department.
