Interdepartmental Report on the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (17 Jul 2014)

Mick Wallace: .... The survivors' group stated that "Each woman deserves to know that her voice has been heard by those in authority". In a move reminiscent of Martin McAleese's treatment of the Justice for Magdalenes group, Judge Murphy took no account of the testimony offered by survivors of symphysiotomy. The group's chairperson, Marie O'Connor, was even more critical in her statement to the UN...

Interdepartmental Report on the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (17 Jul 2014)

Maureen O'Sullivan: ...of previous inquiries. There were drawbacks to both the McAleese and Ryan commissions. All parties need to be involved, and all documents must be released. I supported the inclusion of the Magdalen laundries in light of evidence uncovered by Justice for Magdalenes and the oral testimony that babies were born and nursed in the Magdalen laundry in Sean McDermott Street. Justice for...

Interdepartmental Report on the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (17 Jul 2014)

Anne Ferris: ...of our shared mother? I know, from the documented experiences of many women of her era, that women who bore more than one baby in a mother and baby home frequently were obliged to serve time in a Magdalen laundry. Perhaps our mother managed to avoid such a sentence by not choosing the same home twice for her confinement. The evidence, however, is that most women in her circumstances...

Interdepartmental Report on the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (17 Jul 2014)

Sandra McLellan: ...by several United Nations bodies regarding State failures to properly investigate and provide effective remedies in compliance with its international treaty obligations in the case of the survivors of the Magdalen laundries and in light of the international dimensions of the issues that will come before it, the commission of investigation should be led by an international judicial figure...

Interdepartmental Report on the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (17 Jul 2014)

Richard Boyd Barrett: .... While I welcome the interdepartmental report and the Government's commitment to a statutory commission, we need to remind ourselves that this has only come to light - as was the case with the Magdalen laundries, the industrial schools and Bethany Home, which has now been finally included - because the victims of this abuse from this long and dark period of our history fought for years...

Interdepartmental Report on the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (17 Jul 2014)

Clare Daly: ...Minister is prepared to make in working with the survivors' organisations. That will be the key in this regard. Many points have been made as to what has been excluded and obviously, the county homes and Magdalen laundries must be included, as must the vaccination trials. Thus far, there has been no mention of criminal prosecutions, of the religious orders being dealt with regarding the...

Interdepartmental Report on the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (17 Jul 2014)

Catherine Murphy: ...resourced and properly run. When we consider how under-resourced the National Archives of Ireland is, it will not be possible to do that there. I am dealing with a person who is a survivor of the Magdalen laundries. She has been through the whole process and because the records do not support what she is saying, the institution's records are what are believed. Going through that has...

Interdepartmental Report on the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (17 Jul 2014)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: ...". The report of the inter-departmental group sets out a roadmap which, in our view, does not go far enough. The inquiry should not be confined to the nine institutions listed in the report. County homes and Magdalen laundries should definitely be included. The issues of adoptions, involving both Catholic and Protestant institutions, and of vaccination trials should also be included....

Interdepartmental Report on the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (17 Jul 2014)

Robert Troy: ...adoption from public and private hospitals, State-funded mother and baby homes, as well as private nursing homes. They also say that consigning or relegating institutions such as the county homes and the Magdalen laundries to a historical survey sends a very clear message to the most vulnerable, most ignored victims of those institutions, which is that their humanity could be set aside in...

Interdepartmental Report on the Commission of Investigation into the Mother and Baby Homes: Statements (17 Jul 2014)

James Reilly: ...born outside marriage. This research module could potentially examine a wide range of institutions, including mother and baby homes, county homes, private nursing homes, homes for infants or children, and Magdalen laundries. Patterns relating to the admission of unmarried mothers into these institutions and the pathways experienced by unmarried mothers and children on leaving such...
