What the survivors have always wanted is acknowledgement, apology and inclusion. The interim report goes some way to saying it warrants further investigation into including those who have been excluded. The decision on which institutions to include and exclude was very inconsistent. That needs to be addressed. There is an urgent need for the Minister to meet with representatives of the survivor groups. They are not happy with the Minister's response and the response of Government. There are things they have consistently asked for that are not being addressed. I know that people like Paul Redmond and others from the Coalition of Mother and Baby Home Survivors are really keen to have this urgently addressed. The Minister would get the response right if she engaged with them. Time is running out. I urge that this be done as an immediate matter.
