I am advised that a reply issued on the 19th August to the Deputy's initial correspondence of 6th August regarding Mother and Baby Homes. A further reply outlining the current position issued on 21st November from my office in response to the Deputies letter of 28th October. As an independent body, it will ultimately be a matter for the Commission itself to determine the approach to matters which fall within its specific terms of reference. My Department will arrange to pass the details supplied by the Deputy to the Chair of the Commission.
