Greens Senator expects ‘full apology’ from Galway council over Tuam home use
Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman has said he hopes local authorities will apologise for their roles and lack of action in addressing the abuse in mother and baby homes and county homes.
Green Party Senator Pauline O’Reilly said she expected Galway County Council to make a “full apology” at its next council meeting on January 25th and to state how it will attempt to make amends for holding meetings in the grounds of the Tuam mother and babies home.
Ms O’Reilly told the Seanad that “no one can tell me that those politicians did not know of the appalling conditions”.
