We seek truth and justice for the many women and adopted adults, victims-survivors of institutional abuse, coerced adoption and human rights violations in NI.

The Speaker’s decision to block the amendment removing the arbitrary Posthumous Claim date raises questions about confidence in Assembly procedures @SineadMcL4Foyle @endamcclafferty @MckeeganClaire @TruthRecoveryNI @CaralNiChuilin @GerryCarrollPBP @PaulaJaneB @Paul_utv @RBlackPA

This shocking development raises questions about the entire process. Why was this amendment which the committee tabled having heard weeks of relevant evidence on this bill unilaterally dropped by the speaker?
Those who campaigned for over a decade left out at the stroke of a pen
