Human Rights, Justice

Coalition of Mother and Baby Home Survivors call upon Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Cabinet for a survivor centered, fully inclusive Inquiry that must meet the standards of a UN Inquiry.

1.   Acknowledgement, Apology and Full Restorative Justice first.

Since there is abundant, conclusive and irrefutable evidence through official records and eye witness testimony as to what  happened in the Mother & Baby homes and the vast network of other Institutions and  groups with whom they interacted, there should be an immediate Acknowledgment and Apology to all Survivors.
