MOTHER AND BABY home survivors are to protest against the government’s commission of inquiry into the homes today.
The survivors are all part of the Coalition of Mother and Baby Home Survivors (CMABS), and they will be lodging a formal complaint with the government over the fact some homes are not included in the inquiry.
Protest
The group will hold a short protest outside the Dáil before meeting at the commission of inquiry’s headquarters on Baggot St, where they will hand in the official complaint. They are expected to hold a picket outside the building.
They are also appealing for a legal team to take on their case pro bono so that they can undertake a judicial review of the inquiry.
They say that Northern Ireland’s comparable historical abuse inquiry is making Ireland “look ridiculous”.
