It also finds the State is responsible for several mass abuses
A report to be published today finds residents of mother and baby homes were subjected to involuntary detention, forced labour, and illegal adoption.
The document is an an alternative expert review of the Mother & Baby Homes Commission of Investigation report.
A group of 25 academics, with expertise spanning criminal justice, human rights and family law, have re-examined the commission's report.
They have found, according to the Irish Examiner, that the "Commission used a narrow account of Irish legal history to excuse the abuses detailed across the Report".
They have also found that the State is responsible for several mass abuses including breaches of human and constitutional rights.
25 legal experts re-write the #MotherandBabyHomes Executive Summary based on the evidence in the Report & applying Constitutional and human rights laws that existed at the time (as the Commission should have done).
