Text
I thank the First Minister for her statement. First Minister, what discussions, if any, have you had with the Irish Government about compensation from the institutions for the victims and survivors of the mother-and-baby homes? From working on the Bill, the Committee understands that the Irish Government have found it difficult to achieve that. We have worked tirelessly in Northern Ireland to see whether we can ensure that the institutions are made to pay for the horrible things that they did to people during that time. It would be useful to have that as an ongoing discussion.
