EXTEND THE COMMISSION

The Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation will dissolve in:

  • 00Days
  • 00Hours
  • 00Minutes

Many questions about the Commission’s working methods and conclusions are unanswered. If the Commission dissolves on February 28th as scheduled the possibility of answers will disappear with it.

The Social Democrats are bringing a motion to the Dáil this week to extend the Commission’s term for one year. Some TDs from government parties have indicated they would like a free vote on this.

What you can do right now is email your TDs – especially those from government parties – and insist they extend the Commission’s term.

If you’d prefer to write your own email then you can find a list of TDs in your constituency on the Oireachtas website.
