The work of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes is now officially underway following the formal appointment of the three individuals who will conduct the investigation.
The establishment of the independent commission, which has a three-year deadline and which will cost approximately €21 million, followed the signing by the Taoiseach of a Government order at Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting.
The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs Dr James Reilly said it marked a “significant moment”.
“The Commission can now start the process to ensure that what was once hidden and covered up in these homes, and in wider society, can be revealed and openly acknowledged”.
