Mother and baby home campaigners say all trust has broken down after it emerged the Government has shelved plans for an independent expert review of their testimony.

Campaigners and politicians are now calling on Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman to rethink the decision to scrap the review of testimony that was provided by 500 people to the Confidential Committee of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes.
