The details of a redress scheme for survivors of mother and baby homes will not be brought to Cabinet until autumn.

Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman had hoped to bring details of the scheme this week, but it is now understood that an inter-departmental report on the scheme has yet to be completed, meaning that it will be delayed.
