The State is responsible for several mass abuses, including breaches of human and constitutional rights, an alternative expert report into mother and baby homes has found.

A group of 25 legal and academic experts have forensically examined the final report of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes to come up with alternative findings.
