Section 13 of the Civil Registration (Amendment) Act 2014 provides for a record of deaths abroad.

I have been in contact with my colleague, the Minister for Health in relation to the commencement of this provision and others which had been delayed due to industrial action in the HSE. At this point, I am not in a position to provide a date for commencement but I would like to reassure the Deputy that officials from both Departments are working to bring about a resolution to this matter at the earliest possible date.
