Diarmuid Martin yesterday called for an investigation into all mother-and-baby homes

The Chief Executive of Tusla, the child and family agency, has said records for the mother-and-baby homes in Tuam, Bessborough in Cork, and St Patrick's on the Navan Road in Dublin have been transferred to the agency.

Gordon Jeyes told RTE's News At One there are nine registers dating between 1921 and 1961 as well as quarterly returns that went to county councils that date back to 1919.

He said there is no difficulty in making these available to the cross-departmental investigation due to be established by Minister for Children Charlie Flanagan.
