Survivors of Ireland’s mother-and-baby homes have accused Minister for Children Katherine Zappone of trying to get them not to push for State compensation for their detention.
In a letter to survivors, Ms Zappone has invited survivors of institutions under investigation by the Commission on Mother and Baby Homes to meetings, beginning with one in Dublin on June 30th.
Saying that she has “reflected carefully” on the commission’s April 11th interim report, the Minister said she wants to get survivors’ views over the next two months.
The commission, chaired by Justice Yvonne Murphy, will publish its final report in February 2018.
