Our @MckeeganClaire represents the survivors @BMATCT @BMATCFJ @TruthRecoveryNI The Speaker rejected the amendment which would have allowed those who died before September 2011 equal right to redress We have sought a copy of the advise the speaker received from the Bill Clerk
Survivors worst fears confirmed. The speaker went AGAINST official advice to block legislation to deprive them of their redress. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

Edwin Poots is refusing to explain a highly irregular decision which makes little sense & has tens of millions of pounds riding on it. Stormont's Speaker says we've no right to know why he acted as he did. Amid growing questions, this may end up in court. belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/…

#Motherandbabyhomes The @niassembly speaker refused the amendment proposed by committee to include survivors who died after 29 September 2011 This amendment was to support many who have campaigned for over a decade for justice. Our clients & the MLAs ask why @MckeeganClaire

Our @MckeeganClaire acts for the #MotherandBabyhomes survivors groups 'Our clients are shocked and appalled that the amendment to include posthumous claims has been excluded by the assembly speaker without any explanation or rationale.' @TruthRecoveryNI @BMATCFJ @BMATCT
Survivors of mother and baby homes are seeking answers from Edwin Poots after the speaker unilaterally blocked any consideration of an amendment to a redress and inquiry bill. A woman who was given up for adoption and then had her own son taken away at three months said she was devastated by the decision made by Mr Poots around posthumous redress and is asking for him to reveal the reason.

Today seen the opening of Nevara House, a safe place designated specifically to those impacted by Mother & Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses. It was a beautiful day with input by Victims/Survivors. We planted a tree, listened to poetry and WAVE Choir
