The Irish government has extended the deadline for the Commission of Investigation into 14 Mother and Baby Homes by a year, to February 2019.
In its third interim report the commission said that it is faced with a huge task in collating and analysing a vast range of material. It said it is also speaking to former residents of the homes to hear their personal experiences and this is hugely time consuming. The commission said it has met 346 former residents across the country and here in the UK. A further 200 people have applied to meet with the committee.
