Visited Stormont on Monday for an important Independent Panel meeting with the First Minister and Deputy First Minister. Got a number of important measures of support from them, including a much needed 6-month extension of the Panel’s lifespan.

Our Co-Chairs met with the First Minister & deputy First Minister this week. The discussion focused on the progress of our independent investigation since our Interim Report was published in May 2024, and the plans for our remaining time.

So glad to see this legislation go through - making it a criminal offence to destroy records of the institutional and family separation system & of the religious orders and other bodies that ran them. A crucial step to securing access for affected people now and into the future.

Having considered the Maternity Protection, Employment Equality and Preservation of Certain Records Bill 2024, the President has signed the Bill and it has accordingly become law.

Not all NI institutions were run by Catholic orders. Some were run by Protestant Churches or organisations funded by the state, eg: Hopedene Hostel, Thorndale House, Kennedy House, Belfast Midnight Mission, Malone Place and more. Call for testimonies from all to @TruthPanel_NI
