Letters to the Editor: Apologies are no substitute for justice

 Taoiseach Micheal Martin is expected to issue an  apology on Wednesday. 

Fianna Fáil leader and Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, will apologise on behalf of the State to the survivors of the mother and baby homes. 

This scandal did not occur over a short period or in secrecy: It occurred throughout our State’s existence. It is still going on, to some extent, as demonstrated by the premature leaking of the commission of investigation report and the sealing of records.
