Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman has apologised for claiming that children who spent less than six months in mother and baby homes "wouldn’t remember" their experiences.
Survivors have hit out at a mother and baby home redress scheme, which they say is "paltry, insulting and exclusionary" as payments will be based on the length of time mothers and children spent in institutions.
