803. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if she will contact all those persons that have contacted her Department regarding adoption and mother and baby homes in recent years to inform them of the existence of the commission of investigation into mother and baby homes; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [9611/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am on the record of this House as encouraging any person with information which may be relevant to the investigation to contact the Commission directly. All relevant information is on the Commission's website and can be accessed at www.mbhcoi.ie.
Following the public consultation process to inform the development of the Commission's terms of reference, my Department passed on the submissions and correspondence received from groups and individuals to the Commission.
The Deputy may wish to note that my Department has also made arrangements to inform these interested parties of significant events regarding the Commission.
