Mother and Baby Homes report misses the mark

The language and scope of the Mother and Baby Home Commission is questionable, says Conall Ó Fátharta

WE WAITED seven months for the Government to publish the second interim report of the Commission to Inquire into Mother and Baby Homes. It did not make for encouraging reading.

Running to 16 pages, the report has three main sections — on redress, its terms of reference, and on the issue of the false registration of births.
