I am well aware who it was intended for. It is really not about the money here. It is about acknowledging the wrong that was done to the mothers and babies in those homes. The Government has chosen to put a two-tier system in place. I am sure the people who are getting money would not mind even sharing that money with those who were in the mother and baby homes for less than six months. For the Government to totally dismiss their presence and trauma is really unforgivable.
