Yes, I support an amendment to the legislation for more inclusive redress

The Labour Party in government will review the operation of the existing redress scheme for survivors of Mother and Baby, and County homes. Far too many are fully excluded from the scheme, and we will extend redress to all those who spent time in the institutions due to the exclusionary six- month rule, ensure it includes those boarded out, and extend an enhanced medical card to all mothers affected. We will ensure the protection of all records and the sites of institutions, and that survivors get access to their personal information.

Ciarán Ahern, Labour
