| [SkyNews] The Irish prime minister will make an official state apology after an investigation found evidence of widespread abuse. Unmarried mothers in Ireland faced a "brutally misogynistic culture" for decades, a minister has said after the publication of a report into the deaths of 9,000 children and babies. A five-year investigation by a judicial commission of investigation details how the children died at 18 institutions for unmarried mothers and their babies between 1922 and 1998.
He said the report describes "a dark, difficult and shameful chapter of very recent Irish history", and called on the Church to issue its own apology. The Irish government will also provide financial recognition to the specific groups identified in the report, and push ahead with laws to support excavation, exhumation and, where possible, identification of remains at burial sites. Additionally, the government has established a counselling support service for survivors, who were given access to it for the first time earlier on Tuesday. | ||
