A Limerick TD has called on a British multinational pharmaceutical giant to pay €500 million towards the victims of the mother and baby homes.

GlaxoSmithKline cooperated with the investigation of the Mother and Baby Home Commission and gave documentation which showed they engaged in vaccine trials between 1934 and 1973.
