“The Government acknowledges and regrets the genuine hurt felt by many people across Irish society,” the statement said. The Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman is due to receive the report of the Commission into Mother and Baby Homes this Friday with the government saying that it will be published “as soon as possible” thereafter.

The minster is aware from representations he has received that a number of parties have made complaints of a potentially criminal nature to garda authorities. Consideration of these matters will necessitate engagement with the Attorney General, Garda Commissioner and the Director of Public Prosecutions. The government also said it will develop a “comprehensive State response” to the findings and recommendations of the report for urgent consideration.

Utter disregard for the murder,rape and state wide collusion that occurred to these babies and their parents from this sickened!

MichealMartinTD acknowledges and regrets.....THEN WHY DO IT....absolute morons. Oh hang on let’s all have a round of applause for the people suffering...that usually works better than easing their pain and understanding what they are going through.

Blah blah blah blah blah and fk ye it’s done now fk yer feelings

Great now stop delaying. Release the full report. Every word of it so we can see what kind of monsters we are dealing with.

'acknowledges and regrets' the Irish equivalent of thoughts and prayers...basically we don't care

Awe we are sorry but steamrolled ahead anyway...then to follow up with the uppercut to the cervical check tribunal ...this government doesn't give two shites about the society..

Government doesn't care about people

Meaningless political drivel

The whole shower of them are apologists for murder and pedophilia. No two ways about it. Utterly despicable. MichealMartinTD simoncoveney LeoVaradkar SimonHarrisTD fiannafailparty FineGael

On mature reflection!!!

Fuck that

Pathetic

Honestly how the hell are we continually putting up with this bullshit. Lazy ass legislation, constant inefficiencies, budget overruns (to put it mildly), casual corruption at every turn and absolute peak incompetence at every level of management. When is enough, enough? When?

‘We’re sorry ye feel how ye do’ is such a FG apology. i.e. it’s not an apology.
