Document was to issue to the Department of Children by April 30th.

It will be weeks before a report by an interdepartmental group, established to develop proposals for a redress scheme for survivors of mother-and-baby homes, is delivered.

It was issued with an April 30th deadline by the Minister for Children, Roderic O'Gorman.

Its understood that the volume of responses to a consultation process as part of the report has contributed to the delay.

That process was managed by Oak Consulting, which undertook 17 online meetings with survivors across the world.

This yielded 450 written submissions, some issued after the  closing date of 31 March.

OAK presented interim findings on April 22nd, and its final report was due yesterday.

Breeda Murphy is an activist, and PRO for the Tuam Mother and Baby Home Alliance.

She joined Clem Ryan on Wednesday's edition of Kildare Today.
