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

Sharon Keogan (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

Having looked after children who had been in care over the years, I know of the trauma that even one night in care can cause for a child. That the Minister has disregarded the children under discussion from the remit and payment is absolutely scandalous. He is not acknowledging the trauma they face and have faced over the years. I am very disappointed that he has not agreed to acknowledge in any way the pain and suffering they went through during their time in the mother and baby homes.
