Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I have three practical questions which I would like answered and I will then make some comments in regard to childcare. First, has Covid-19 interfered with the mother and baby homes report? Will it be published promptly and, if so, when? Second, has Tusla carried out a risk analysis on the effects of the closedown on child protection and, if so, has it produced a paper on that? Third, with regard to historical sexual abuse in scouting, there is no specific date for the learning review. It is now two months later. Has the Minister had any input since the report was produced? When did she see it and what is its status, given its horrific contents?
