The government has announced a full Commission of Investigation into mother and baby homes. It will have full statutory powers to seek documents and compel witnesses.
The wide-ranging inquiry will examine all aspects of the running of the homes and will not just be confined to the revelations concerning the former Bon Secours home in Tuam.
The terms of reference for the Commission will be decided when a final report comes from a high-level departmental group.
That report, from nine government departments, is due to be finished by June 30th.
