Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill 2020: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2020-10-16
============================================================

Aisling Dolan (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I will follow up on some of the points Senator Gavan made as well. There are many volunteer groups helping survivors and members of their families to access these documents at present. The original records are still with the Departments. There is a challenge in the time and effort required to do that, but survivors and members of their families are accessing some of that information at present through the volunteer groups that are working on their behalf. However, it is not an easy process.
