A large backlog of inquests has been built up in County Kildare due to a ban on hearings since January because of Covid-19 restrictions.
Grieving families are being forced to wait for death certificates as they try to finalise matters in relation to issues such as wills and life insurance and pension policies.
Coroner for Kildare Prof Denis Cusack said that he recognises the urgency for families in resuming hearings at Naas Courthouse as soon as possible and will be raising this with the Department of Justice and the Courts Service.
