Mother and Baby Institutions Payment Scheme Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-01
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

I support amendment No. 27 in the name of Deputy Tóibín and the other amendments. As my colleague, Deputy Funchion, said, how long is a piece of string? There is a lack of clarity. We have had sad experiences with most elements of our public system now. That extends even to getting a passport or a driving licence, which are totally mundane issues compared with the seriousness of what we are dealing with tonight. There is the impact on people's lives and the age profile of the survivors. The Bill is just not fit for purpose in any manner. I said enough earlier. I support amendment No. 27.
