Image: PA Images Image: PA Images JUDI DENCH HAS paid tribute to Mother and Baby Homes survivor and campaigner Philomena Lee, describing her as a “remarkable person”.

The Oscar-winner portrayed Lee in the 2013 film Philomena, which documented her 50-year search for her forcibly adopted son, Anthony.

The homes, operated by the Catholic Church and funded by the State, were subject to a five-year investigation, the results of which were published this week.“I can’t imagine, to get an apology all this time later from the Taoiseach. “In Philomena’s case, she searched for Anthony and eventually found him after terrible years of pain and not knowing.“I suppose, an apology goes some way to somehow putting things slightly at rest after such a long time.”
