A scoping exercise to examine if the Commission of Investigation into mother and baby homes should include more institutions was promised yesterday.
The Cabinet agreed that an exploratory exam should be carried out after calls for more county homes to be included in the investigation.
It followed the public outcry in the wake of the discovery of human remains at a former mother and baby home run by the Bons Secours sisters in Tuam, Co Galway.
The Government has made no decision as yet on the extent of the proposed scoping exercise.
But more details would be made public by Children’s Minister Katherine Zappone after the St Patrick’s weekend and it should last for around six weeks.
