Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman says their decision is 'disappointing'

Members of the Mother and Baby Homes Commission have refused to appear before an Oireachtas committee for a third time.

Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman says their decision is 'disappointing' and is urging them to reconsider.

The commission had been asked to explain comments from one of the members about how much witness testimony was included in the final report.
