Northern Ireland mother-and-baby homes inquiry 'painfully slow'
"The girls were seen as something to be dealt with - and we were the embodiment of their sin."
One of the major issues is how babies were taken across the border to be adopted - which caused particular difficulties for Mark when he was trying to uncover details about his past. When they met, "the first person he saw was my sister, who he already knew - without realising she was his aunt".She said that the woman who fostered her came to the children's home "like she was going shopping" and asked for Maria and her brother "as if we were buy-one-get-one-free items".
The format draws on Prof Scraton's widely acknowledged work on inquiries into the Hillsborough football stadium disaster. "The dovetailing of the information-gathering process with a full public inquiry is a unique way of making sure the voices of the most vulnerable are heard - and of getting to the truth."
