THE CHILDREN’S MINISTER has announced a statutory Commission of Investigation to investigate mother and baby homes.
Charlie Flanagan told RTÉ’s News at One that the commission will have full statutory powers and will “not be interfered with by government”.
Flanagan said that “we need to establish the truth of this matter”.
He said that now was a “time for sensitivity, not speculation”.
“That is why this morning, the government has decided to establish a Commission of Investigation with full statutory powers to examine all matters pertaining to mother and baby homes throughout the state.”
