Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Will the Minister update the House on the status of the mother and baby institutions payment scheme Bill? Forgive me if I am emotional, but also quite professional, on this matter. I have followed it at every level so far. I am asking my question in the hope that the Government has learned from the Ombudsman's report in 2017, which referred to a lost opportunity, and that we have learned from the cross-party recommendations, the OAK consultation process and many other documents.
