WE WAITED seven months for the Government to publish the second
interim report of the Commission to Inquire into Mother and Baby Homes.
It did not make for encouraging reading. Running to 16 pages, the report has three main sections — on redress,
its terms of reference, and on the issue of the false registration of
births.
However, on the issue of the real elephant in the room — illegal adoptions — it was remarkably, and worryingly, lukewarm. In fact, the section is not even titled “illegal adoptions”. It is given the more euphemistic title — one favoured by government departments — “false registration of birth”.
