A new initiative will provide free legal aid to women who lived in
mother and baby homes in Ireland between 1922 and 1998. The legal help
will assist women in drafting witness statements to give to a commission
investigating how women and children were treated at the homes.
The project has been set up by Justice for Magdalenes Research and the Adoption Rights Alliance, RTE
reports. Known as Clann: Ireland’s Unmarried Mothers and their
Children: Gathering the Data, the project has been endorsed by Philomena
Lee and her daughter Jane Libberton.
