Concerns over mother and baby home redress 'falling on deaf ears' 

The Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022 only provides for all mothers and babies who spent 'not less than' six months in institutions and does not extend to children who were 'boarded out'. File picture: Laura Hutton/RollingNews.ie

The Coalition of Mother and Baby Home Survivors said they had written more than 30 times to Government raising concerns over the redress scheme but have received no substantive response.

The group, which represents five survivors’ organisations, has criticised the Departments of Children and An Taoiseach for not properly engaging with their concerns.
