The Oireachtas justice committee will be asked in the coming days to put reform of the coroner's courts on the agenda for this year.

The call is being made by Sinn Féin’s justice spokesman Martin Kenny following pleas by families in last Saturday’s Irish Examiner for inquest recommendations to be legally enforceable.
