The children’s minister is defending the decision not to open the residential institutions redress scheme to those in Mother and Baby Homes.
Katherine Zappone says there is so far no finding of abuse or neglect from the Commission of Investigation into the homes.
The minister has told the Dáil it would be premature to deal with the issue of redress at this time.
“This Government is conscious that the Commission has made no findings today regarding abuse or neglect, and believes it would not be appropriate to deal with the question of redress in advance of any conclusions on this issue by the Commission.”
