Concern about legal challenges when report published, says Minister for Children

Minister for Children Roderick OGorman has apologised for his failure to properly communicate what the Government is going to do with the report into mother-and-baby homes which is due to be published next week.
I deeply regret my failure to communicate which caused anxiety, he told RTÉ radios Morning Ireland.
The Dáil approved controversial legislation that would transfer a database of 60,000 records created by a five-year State investigation into mother-and-baby homes to the child and family agency, Tusla.
The Commission of Investigation (Mother and Baby Homes and certain related Matters) Records, and another Matter, Bill was passed in the Dáil by 78 votes to 67 after a heated and emotional debate.
The database included in the Mother and Baby Homes Commission report can help children establish their identity. Under the existing law all the information has to be archived and sealed for 30 years.
