Ireland's Mother and Baby Home Controversy

On the 22nd of October, the Dáíl voted on a Bill to “seal” the records gathered by the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes. The Seanad passed the Bill the next day. This new legislation caused quite the controversy, causing an uproar on social media and within the Oireachtas. This week, the Dublin Law and Politics Review Podcast is speaking to one of the Oireachtas’s most vocal critics, Senator Alice-Mary Higgins. Join our discussion on where and why the Legislation was brought in, where the record is actually going, and are they actually sealed?
