Institutional Burials Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-06-15
============================================================

Kathleen Funchion (SF), Carlow-Kilkenny

I move amendment No. 26:
In page 30, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:
“(b) a religious order of the Roman Catholic Church,"
Amendment Nos. 26 to 29, inclusive, seek to ensure that the Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic Church are included as information sources, given the central role that they played in mother and baby institutions.
Amendment No. 30 seeks to include any possible person that was involved in the removal of remains, reburial, burial or any other such duties. As agreed, many of the records required by the director are held by religious orders operating as charities within the State and outside the State. This amendment seeks to expand the categories in which the various data controllers of churches, charities, benevolent groups, etc., fall.
Amendment No. 31 is the Minister’s amendment.
