Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 January 2017
1708. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs when she plans to publish the second interim report of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [1639/17]
View answerI am committed to publishing this Report. Given the scope of the Commission's work, a number of issues in the Report extend beyond the remit of my Department and it has been necessary to consult Cabinet colleagues and the Attorney General on these matters.
I am sensitive to the concerns of former residents and their expectations for an early publication date. I will conclude this process as quickly as possible.
