Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

Tá soiléiriú á lorg agam ar an scéim atá beartaithe maidir le cúiteamh a thabhairt do dhaoine a chaith tréimhse i dtithe máithreacha agus leanaí. My question to the Taoiseach is very direct and I would love a direct answer. I want clarification on when the compensation or redress scheme will be launched for the mothers and others who spent time in mother and baby homes. I understand the consultation process, for which a private company was employed, has finished.
A report went before the Cabinet last June but we are still waiting. Older and vulnerable people still have no knowledge whatsoever of what is happening following the publication of a report last January, with all the stress that went with it.
