Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 September 2016
962. Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the expected date for the publishing of the second interim report of the commission of investigation on mother and baby homes; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27042/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes has recently submitted a second Interim Report.
This Report has been prepared in response to my request that the Commission report on whether it considers any additional matters may warrant further investigation as part of the its work. This request was made of the Commission in July when the Government agreed an extension of the time for the submission of two reports.
It is my intention to publish the Report after I have had an opportunity to study it carefully and to consider its findings. I have asked the Attorney General for her advices on publication and I am consulting with cabinet colleagues to enable Government to respond to the Report as quickly as possible.
