LIKE MANY PEOPLE, I was shocked and stunned when I heard that one of the Commissioners of the Mother and Baby Homes Commission would be speaking at an academic seminar yesterday.
The Oireachtas Committee on Children, which I chair, has been trying since January to ensure that one of the Commissioners appears before our committee and answers key questions about their report.
