As part of its response to the Final Report of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes and Certain Related Matters, the Government has committed to establishing an ex-gratia Restorative Recognition Scheme to provide financial recognition to specific groups. An Interdepartmental Group (IDG) has been established to develop detailed proposals to bring back to Government. This work must take account of the specific groups identified by the Commission of Investigation but is not limited to those groups. The IDG has held two meetings to date and will continue its work, including stakeholder consultation, throughout March and April.
