Fiona O'Loughlin: ...people right across the world. The Minister is right when he says that it is a stain on our national conscience. In the past the Minister has said that he would address this situation as urgently and as quickly as possible. Now that the necessary legislation is in place it is good that we have this motion before the House today. Of course, when we talk about Tuam we must pay tribute to...

Fintan Warfield: I welcome the Minister and his officials to the House. This is a very long overdue step in addressing the legal rights of the individuals and families who died and were disappeared in institutional contexts for too long.

This is a development which has been far too long in the...

I know a significant number of Senators present were part of that process. I visited Tuam last summer and met...
