Catherine Connolly: I thank the Minister for giving some clarification on that. I note that they have had success in Northern Ireland in encouraging people to come forward. Unfortunately that is not our experience in Ireland. It is not the experience of Dr. Mark Coen and what he found on the grounds of the laundry in Dublin. I know from the McAleese report that the Magdalen laundry in Galway distinguished...

Roderic O'Gorman: In the situations the Deputy describes which have pertained previously in respect of the records of laundries, Dr. McAleese was told there were no records and then they were found in the abandoned Donnybrook Magdalen laundry. I suppose the difference between then and what will pertain after this legislation is that it will now be a criminal offence. It will be a criminal offence to leave...

Catherine Connolly: I wish to speak briefly to those amendments on the preservation of records. I am on record for welcoming this and saying it has to be done. I do not appreciate the way it is being done. I understand the Minister is under pressure now and it has to be done. In relation to the preservation of records, it is urgent. When the mother and baby home report was published in 2021, I was critical...
