IRELAND
RTE News
Two campaign groups have urged the Minister for Children to publish an outstanding report on mother and baby homes, and said the State must ensure that all human remains buried in unmarked graves at institutions in Ireland are identified.
The Adoption Rights Alliance and Justice for Magdalenes Research groups demanded that Katherine Zappone publish a five-month-old report from the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes on the issue of broadening the probe’s terms of reference.
On receiving the interim report last September, Ms Zappone said she intended to publish it after considering its findings.
She promised she would do so “as quickly as possible” because she was “mindful that many people and their families have strong personal connections to the work of this commission”.
At the time she also announced that she was sending the report to the attorney general for her advice and that she would respond to the issues raised by the statutory commission in consultation with her Cabinet colleagues.
