I said it from the beginning, theMother and Baby Home redress scheme was designed in order to save money. Shameful but entirely predictable from @greenpartyie.bsky.social @fiannafailparty.bsky.social and Fine Gael www.thejournal.ie/mother-and-b...
thejournal.ie
Only 7% of mother and baby home redress budget spent one year after applications opened
An MEP said the underspend shows that the exclusion of thousands of survivors from the scheme was an unneccesary “punitive measure”.

Irish Times exit poll shows immigration was the most important issue for six per cent of voters, climate most important for four per cent. Two issues within the margin of error of each other, but one received a disproportionate amount of coverage while the other was barely mentioned. #ge24
