MOTHER-AND-BABY Homes Probe Being Finalised
By Eilish O'Regan
The extent of the inquiry - which was set up following revelations about the deaths of almost 800 children at a Tuam mother-and-baby home from the 1920s to the early 1960s - is expected to disappoint many groups which were hoping to be included in the investigation. Survivors of Protestant mother-and-baby homes are among those who have been lobbying the minister to include specific institutions in the terms of reference. Ms Justice Yvonne Murphy is to chair the inquiry. More than 160 submissions were received during the consultation process Dr Reilly has already said that said some issues being raised in public debates on mother-and-baby homes were beyond the inquiry focus.
