However its expected the report wont be made public for a number of months.

A 4-thousand page report into Mother and Baby Homes will be handed over to the government later.

It's expected the Commission of Investigation report won't be made public for a number of months, while it is reviewed by the Attorney General.

Survivors of these homes were told earlier this week that they will be able to access their personal records through GDPR, in a u-turn by the government.

People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett, who was born in a mother and baby home, is worried that access could still be limited.

''It seems to me that the government have been operating on a definition of GDPR which is not the right reality'', he said.

''And they've been doing that in order to limit access and limit openness and transparency when it comes to these records which are so important for individuals and indeed for an honest accounting for the history of this country''.
