On the day more revelations about what went on in mother and baby homes here - a doc we did a few years back featuring those who bravely broke their silence to expose 👇🏼 itv.com/utvprogrammes/…

🚨🗣NEW: 'Sad, lonely, vulnerable young women. Society turned its back on them. The Churches, the institutions and the State.' 🎤🎥Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 speaking to Roisin McGlone. At the age of 14, she was a resident at the Marianvale Mother and Baby Home in the 1970s. She says society turned its back on vulnerable women and that it is time for responsibility to be taken. A new report has found the estimated number of women admitted to Mother and Baby Homes and Magdalene Laundries in Northern Ireland is around 2,000 higher than previously thought. The co-chairs of the Truth Recovery Independent Panel found that "human rights abuses, degrading treatment, and forced separation of families are recurring and frequent" in evidence provided by survivors. The 10-person Independent Panel, which includes three victims/survivors, was appointed by the Executive Office in 2023 to investigate the institutions run by the Catholic Church, religious orders, some Protestant denominations and the State until the 1990s. Last week, Stormont passed legislation to establish a public inquiry and financial redress scheme for victims and survivors of Mother and Baby Institutions. The report concludes that many of the experiences described amounted to degrading treatment and, in some cases, are likely to have reached the threshold of inhuman treatment. It makes 70 recommendations, including 28 for the forthcoming public inquiry and 39 for the Northern Ireland Executive. Among its recommendations, the Panel calls for the immediate appointment of the chair of the public inquiry, warning that "synergies that should have been created between the Panel and the inquiry have been lost due to delays in establishing the public inquiry." It also recommends that women and girls who gave birth in workhouses and were separated from their children, along with the children separated from their mothers, should be included within the scope of the financial redress scheme. More on-air and online.

"My wife's 'unadoptable' baby was left to die at unmarried mothers' home" | @BBCNWT Vindicating to help Stephen Hindley's quest for truth and justice in the name of his late wife Judith, whose life was marked by the horrors she endured at St Monica's. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Survivors of mother and baby homes are seeking answers from Edwin Poots after the speaker unilaterally blocked any consideration of an amendment to a redress and inquiry bill. A woman who was given up for adoption and then had her own son taken away at three months said she was devastated by the decision made by Mr Poots around posthumous redress and is asking for him to reveal the reason.
