1551. Deputy Donna McGettigan asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality to reverse the decision to seal the records relating to the mother and baby homes and release them; to fully investigate and, if necessary, excavate the Angels' Plot burial ground at Sean Ross Abbey to find the remains of babies and young girls currently unaccounted for; to reform the redress scheme so survivors are judged by what was done to them, not by a rigid 180 day cut-off; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
