I move amendment No. 114:

In page 35, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following:

“(4) The Minister shall, within six months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Eireann a report on the operation of the Mother and Baby Institution Payments Scheme. A report under this section shall consider the following matters: (a) the scope for inclusion of additional institutions in Schedule 1;

(b) whether there is scope in the scheme for the inclusion of children and women who were subjected to non-consensual or illegal medical trials or experimentation;

(c) whether there is scope in the scheme for the inclusion of children that were of mixed African race or descent that were placed in an institution and subjected to institutional racism;

(d) whether there is scope in the scheme for the inclusion of children that were nursed out or boarded out;

(e) the continual exclusion of children that were resident for less than 180 days as specified in section 18(1) and (4) and if this should be amended.”.
