Mother and Baby Homes
Dail Éireann — 2026-04-23
============================================================

Claire Kerrane (SF), Roscommon-Galway

I want to ask the Minister about the landmark High Court ruling made in February of this year. It specifically examined two institutions, Temple Hill and St. Joseph's, that are excluded from the mother and baby institutions payment scheme. The judge at that time directed the Minister to consider adding these institutions to the scheme and I would like to seek an update on that direction please.
