Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-05-16
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister for the explanation but it is not an explanation. He has set out when a series of decisions were made. I am asking him to justify them. What is the rationale for excluding the 24,000 people who spent less than six months in an institution? It is a simple question. The people watching proceedings today want to hear an answer. I ask him to please give me that answer.
