A NATIONAL VOLUNTARY collection for survivors of mother and baby homes has been suggested by independent senator Rónán Mullen.
The government is drawing up a redress scheme for survivors on foot of the publication of the final report of the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation last week.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said that religious organisations should “make a contribution” towards this scheme.
Speaking in the Seanad yesterday, Mullen said the country should consider “whether it would be appropriate to have some kind of national voluntary contribution as part of a redress package to reflect the social and community dimension to this story, along with Church and State contributions”.
“We are all connected with families who are in some way a part of this story,” he added.
We want to know: Should a ‘national voluntary collection’ be set up for survivors of mother and baby homes?

Somehow young people need to test the drugs their taking may be test kits could be bought over the counter or even better vending machines that will describe what drug their taking and how it will effect them it could stop problems like this happening time for us to think differently about drugs thats just my opinion.
Bobby I think your right, people will take recreational drugs it’s a fact, we need to make sure the drugs being used are safe and not made by greedy morons in a shed, made by pharmaceutical companies in proper controlled factories and sold through pharmacy, basically legalise and regulate.
Ye true right
