Legal experts have strongly dismissed claims that repudiating the mother and baby homes commission report would delay a redress scheme for survivors.

Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman has claimed the report cannot be set aside as it will form the basis of a redress scheme currently being finalised for those who were resident in these institutions.
