Survivors of Mother and Baby Homes believe that the government is intentionally slowing an inquiry into the scandal with a policy of “deny until they die”.
A commission of investigation was established to investigate 14 Mother and Baby Homes nationwide and a sample of county homes.
However, chairperson of the Coalition of Mother and Baby Home Survivors Paul Redmond said that too many people are being excluded from the investigation.
“We feel that the government are stalling every inch of the way in the hope that elderly survivors will die off,” said Mr Redmond.
That sounds very cynical, but most of us are cynical,” he added.
A number of groups representing survivors of the Magdalene laundries and several homes protested outside the Dáil yesterday and called on the government to expand its inquiry.
