Mother and baby homes scandal: No arrests in 5-year @policeserviceni investigation Glad to raise this again and support survivors. They call on @niexecutive to announce a Chair to commence their inquiry. This is the only chance they have at justice. itv.com/news/utv/2026-08-20/…

Another milestone today in the #motherandbabyhomes campaign It was an honour to be there and hear the survivor panel members present their work today publicly. This work is ground breaking and sets the tone for the inquiry that must follow. @BMATCT @BMATCFJ @TruthRecoveryNI

Although the U-turn is welcome, the speaker should never have blocked the amendment allowing posthumous claims in to the #motherandbabyhomes bill and caused further angst and suffering to survivors. @sjamcbride belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…
