The upcoming report into the Mother and Baby Homes is "very shocking", the Children's Minister has said.

The 3,000-page report compiled by the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes was submitted to Roderic O'Gorman in October and will be published next week after it is approved by Cabinet.
