Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Report Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-06-14
============================================================

Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

It was never a question of marital status, as we recognise that there were some married women who spent time in these institutions.
Senator Ruane is aware that I am introducing an amendment on the waiver, which will remove some of the ambiguity that she and others raised about the waiver's application. I hope she welcomes that amendment.
Regarding the nature of these institutions, I will try to explain the matter as I saw it.
