Emer Higgins (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome this legislation and the work that the Minister, his Department and the committee have done to shape the scheme. In recent weeks, it has been great to see many people coming forward to register their interest in receiving information on their time in mother and baby institutions and their adoptions. It is fantastic that those records have been made available.

I have been contacted by someone who spent less than six months in an institution. It would be great if this issue were considered in terms of redress.
