An interim report into the Mother and Baby Homes, including the former facility in Tuam, is expected to be completed this August.
The report is being compiled by the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation and will be issued to the government later in the summer.
The commission was set up to investigate 14 Mother and Baby Homes around the country, including the one in Tuam, which was open from 1925 to 1961.
The commission had called for people who were residents or who worked in any of the homes to come forward and invited people with personal knowledge about the homes, for example family members of residents, regular visitors or those who supplied services to the homes, to also come forward.
