Mother and Baby Homes Inquiries

Martin Browne (SF), Tipperary

As has been said, the consequences and contents of the report and the publicity that has surrounded it to date make it harder on survivors. It outlines what the survivors have been living with for decades and the trauma that has manifested itself through all of the impacts, in particular the anxiety, depression, drug and alcohol problems, educational disadvantage, work-related problems and homelessness that have been experienced by survivors.
Will the Minister commit to taking an approach that is victim-led, not one based on financial concerns alone? One of the biggest issues for survivors is that monetary considerations should not be put in the way of services being put in place for survivors.
