'It will go to court and you won't have a leg to stand on': TDs criticise Mother & Baby redress

THE GOVERNMENT WILL face legal action by people who are excluded from the mother and baby home redress scheme, Opposition TDs have warned.

“I also want to revisit the point that has been made umpteen times at this stage where we want to speak for the 40% of survivors who will not have eligibility for any redress by dint of the fact that they did not meet the six-month requirement. A phone repeatedly went off during Healy-Rae’s contribution. When Sherlock interjected to ask for the phone to be turned off as he couldn’t hear Healy-Rae properly, the Kerry TD hit out at Sherlock for “interrupting” him.“People who spent any time in a mother and baby home deserve reparations, I know that you know that we all know that,” Cairns told Children’s Minister Roderic O’Gorman.

“That will be your legacy when the history books of mother and baby homes are updated to cover this shameful scheme and those who supported it,” Cairns stated.
