The recommendations regarding redress in the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation Second Interim Report were carefully examined by the Government who considered that it would not be appropriate to deal with the question of redress in advance of any conclusions by the Commission who have, to date, made no findings regarding abuse or neglect.
The Commission was established by the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs and Minister Zappone is committed to addressing the issues which have already emerged through the Commission's work without encroaching on their investigation or pre-empting the outcome of that process.
