The mother and baby home report cannot be accepted by the Government and must be independently reviewed, Seanad leader Regina Doherty has said.

Describing the report as "cold" and "callous", the Fine Gael senator hit out at the Commission for ignoring and refusing to believe the testimony of women who gave birth in mother and baby homes and their children.
