Concern that women and children will be discriminated against in a compensation scheme.
Imní go n-idirdhealófar mná agus leanaí i scéim chúitimh.
News Minister for Children and Equality Roderic O’Gorman intends to expand the compensation scheme for those who have spent time in Maternity and Infant Homes.
Nuacht Tá sé i gceist ag an Aire Leanaí agus Comhionannais Roderic O’Gorman an scéim chúitimh dóibh siúd a chaith am in Árais Máithreacha agus Naíonán a leathnú.
The Irish Times reported today that women who spent less than six months in the houses and were in them after 1974 will be eligible to apply for compensation if the Government accepts Minister O’Gorman ‘s plan.
Tuairisicíodh ar an Irish Times inniu go mbeidh mná a chaith níos lú ná sé mhí sna hárais agus a bhí iontu i ndiaidh 1974 i dteideal iarratas a dhéanamh ar an chúiteamh má ghlacann an Rialtas le plean an Aire O’Gorman.
However, the report of the Commission of Inquiry into Maternity and Infant Homes published at the beginning of the year recommended that women who spent more than six months in the homes would be eligible to apply for compensation.
Moladh i dtuarascáil an Choimisiúin Imscrúdúcháin Árais Máithreacha agus Naíonán a foilsíodh i dtús na bliana, áfach, gur mná a chaith níos mó ná sé mhí sna hárais a bheadh i dteideal cur isteach ar chúiteamh.
Independent TD Catherine Connolly said the Government must ensure that women who have spent time in the homes and children born in them are not discriminated against when considering Minister O’Gorman ‘s resolution: “The Commission has discriminated between certain ages and certain years.
Dúirt an Teachta Dála Neamhspleách Catherine Connolly go gcaithfidh an Rialtas a chinntiú nach n- idirdhealófar na mná a chaith seal sna hárais agus na leanaí a rugadh iontu nuair atá rún an Aire O’Gorman á mheas acu: “Rinne an Coimisiún idirdhealú idir aoiseanna áirithe agus blianta áirithe.
They also referred to women who were in the homes alone without children, and then to children who were born and spent time after their mother left the house.
Thagair siad freisin do mhná a bhí sna hárais leo féin gan páistí, agus ansin do pháistí a saolaíodh iontu agus a chaith am iontu i ndiaidh dá máthair an t-áras a fhágáil.
Discrimination like this is unacceptable. “
Ní féidir glacadh le hidirdhealú mar seo.”
According to Catherine Connolly, who was highly critical of the report when it was published in January, anyone in one of the halls should be entitled to go before any commission set up to tell their story and retaliate. to get.
Dar le Catherine Connolly, a bhí an-cháinteach ar an tuarascáil nuair a foilsíodh í i mí Eanáir, gur cheart go mbeadh aon duine a bhí i gceann de na hárais i dteideal dul os comhair aon choimisiúin a bhunófaí lena a scéal a inseacht agus cúiteamh a fháil.
A spokesperson from the Áras an Bon Secours Survivors Group in Tuam told RTÉ / TG4 News that they were disappointed that this story had been leaked to the media.
Dúirt urlabhraí ó Ghrúpa Marthanóirí Áras an Bon Secours i dTuaim le Nuacht RTÉ/TG4 gur cúis díomá dóibh gur sceitheadh an scéal seo leis na meáin.
Whoever spawned it appears to be regardless of the feelings of the survivors and those born in them, the spokesman said.
Is cosúil go bhfuil cibé duine a sceith é beag beann ar mhothúcháin na marthanóirí agus na ndaoine a saolaíodh iontu, a dúirt an t-urlabhraí.
Last night, Roderic O’Gorman wrote to survivors saying that although there was speculation about the compensation scheme in the media no settlement had been made.
Aréir, scríobh Roderic O’Gorman chuig marthanóirí á rá cé go mbeadh tuairimíocht faoin scéim chúitimh sna meáin nach raibh aon socrú déanta.
He will present the proposals to the Government in early October, he said.
Cuirfidh sé na moltaí faoi bhráid an Rialtais i dtús Dheireadh Fómhair, a dúirt sé.
The Department of Equality and Children told us today that they do not intend to comment on what has been reported in the Irish Times.
Duirt an Roinn Comhionannais agus Leanaí linn inniu nach bhfuil sé i gceist acu trácht ar an méid a tuairiscíodh ar an Irish Times.
