The government have launched their long-awaited online service to assist people affected by the Mother and Baby Homes to find out their personal details. Joining me to discuss this is co-founder of the Adoptions Rights Alliance and director of the Clann Project, Claire McGettrick.
We talk about the services now available and whether they are fit for purpose, the Government backtracking on their promises once again and what now for the survivors and their families. It is truly appalling that the "refined" redress scheme fails to take account for the forced separation of families.
Tickets for the live show are at eventbrite.ie (search tortoise shack)

Ireland’s original independent left leaning news, politics, and culture podcast that doesn’t take itself too seriously and still punches well above its weight. Join critically acclaimed & derided hosts, Martin McMahon and Tony Groves as they delve into the news of the day, pull apart the spin and challenge you to be an activist. This is the non-corporate, ad free, non-plastic-podcast reality that the medium is made for. There will be shenanigans!
