The committee noted the 'alleged failure' of the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes to 'thoroughly and effectively' investigate all abuse allegationsThe United Nations Human Rights Committee has called on the Government to widen access to mother and baby homes redress, saying it should remove “all barriers” to the scheme.
Although the committee welcomed efforts to address and memorialise institutional abuse in Ireland, it called for broader access to State redress and said the Government should rectify “alleged omissions” in the inquiries into the homes. “The committee does express its serious concern about all the barriers to access effective remedy including various requirements to sign the waivers that you mention,” she told a press conference. “We don’t think that this is appropriate and call on the State party not to enforce this in practice in order to really ensure effective remedy to all the victims of this regrettable practices that were identified.
The committee welcomed repeal of the constitutional ban on abortion but said it regretted that law on the termination of pregnancy made it a crime to aid or abet abortion outside the terms of the legislation. “So what the committee is now looking for – if you wish – at this stage after the State has adopted more open legislation concerning these issues is to also take other measures to guarantee access – effective access – especially to women which are in regions far away or to vulnerable areas. Those are the two issues I wanted to address.”
