Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman said there was no need to extend the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation as missing data has been retrieved.

The commission will expire on Sunday, despite calls from survivors and the opposition for an extension to allow some survivors to take a judicial review against the commission's findings.
