My Department is actively reviewing its records as part of the work of an inter-departmental group which is gathering information and is to report to Cabinet on the means by which this complex situation in relation to Mother and Baby Homes, can be best addressed. Government yesterday agreed to establish a Commission of Investigation to investigate mother and baby homes. The work of the interdepartmental group will continue and its completed work will inform the Government’s decisions on the Terms of Reference and composition of the Commission of Investigation.
