Bethany Home: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (11 Dec 2013)

Mary Lou McDonald: Fortunately, that is not the case. The Government says that mother and baby homes are excluded from redress. We have noted the exception of St. Patrick's Home on Navan Road.

Frank Feighan: I commend Sinn Féin for bringing this motion before the House. The party's Deputy Leader, Deputy McDonald, has called on the Government to provide resources for a small number of elderly men and women.
