Mother and Baby Homes survivors say the Commission of Investigation has failed to reveal the true horrors of the State-run institutions thus far.
At a meeting in the Westin Hotel this morning, up to 120 people called on the Government to reveal the truth behind what was endured by the unmarried mothers and their children who were put in these homes.
The meeting was called by Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Katherine Zappone with two primary goals; to identify how the government can help those who were left unaccompanied in institutions; to consult with those affected; and bring proposals to Government before summer recess on July 14.
According to Tony Kelly, founder of United Survivors, a major concern for many of those in attendance was the Minister’s dismissal of the Commission of Investigation’s second interim report.
