Survivors of mother and baby homes and other residential institutions have gathered in Dublin to call for a widening of the terms of reference of the Commission of Investigation into the homes.
They want the Commission to urgently recommend to the Government that it be empowered to examine the plight of all survivors of the forced separation of single mothers and their children since 1922.
They are also seeking an immediate State apology and redress for survivors.
The protest began at 12pm in central Dublin with a small gathering to remember and honour those buried in our mass infant graves and angel’s plots.
A handful of participants said prayers at Mannix Flynn’s new installation, “Somebody’s Child”, in Temple Bar.
