FIANNA FÁIL ARE expected to back a Sinn Féín motion being tabled in the Dáil this evening calling for a fully independent judicial inquiry into all mother-and-baby homes that operated in the country.
The motion, which will be voted on tomorrow evening, calls for the enquiry to be set-up as soon as possible.
The issue was also discussed at Cabinet this morning, with Taoiseach Enda Kenny telling reporters on the way in that the Government were treating the recent controversy over the mass grave at Tuam as a much wider issue.
Children’s Minister Charlie Flanagan was due to present his inter-departmental review during this morning’s meeting. Kenny said that the Government would decide on “the best way to proceed” once that took place.
