The Minister for Children has committed to a "re-examination" of the controversial mother and baby homes legislation.

Roderic O'Gorman said it is "impossible to ignore" the thousands of letters he has received, and that there is an "obligation to look beyond the legal process". He said he will engage with the Attorney General and legal academics to review the process.
