A 12-week consultation into proposals for a mother-and-baby home public inquiry was launched on Thursday
These include women who were admitted for less than 24 hours in a named institution, or people who were born while their mother was there.A report by university academics in January 2021Ms O'Neill said victims and survivors of mother-and-baby homes "have waited far too long to have access to the truth, redress and accountability for the suffering they endured".
"It is important now for us to see, listen and hear from those affected in order to inform the decisions we take with our Executive colleagues."Ms Little-Pengelly said that the public consultation will help "shape the legislation necessary to set up the inquiry" in order to get answers for victims and survivors.
Researchers found that a third of those admitted were under the age of 19, with the youngest child to be admitted aged 12.There were more than a dozen such homes in Northern Ireland, including Marianvale in Newry
