The scheme provides for financial payments and an enhanced medical card for those who suffered in the homes.
The Mother and Baby Homes redress scheme is not worth the paper it's written, according to the PRO of the Tuam Mother and Baby Home.
The government has given the green light to a law aimed at giving effect to the Mother and Baby Homes redress scheme.
It provides for financial payments and an enhanced medical card for those who suffered in the homes.
Around 34,000 survivors are entitled to payments, while 19,000 people will be eligible for the medical card under the scheme.
It'll open for applications as soon as possible in 2023, following the enactment of the legislation.
Speaking on Tuesday's Kildare Focus, PRO, Tuam Mother and Baby Home Alliance, Breeda Murphy commented: "Many children were trafficked overseas.
"There's nothing at all in this legislation that acknowledges the human trafficking that happened, the illegalities that have taken place," she insisted.
Ms Murphy said that it wasn't worth the paper it was written on, because many survivors live overseas.
The survivors who can't avail of the HSE medical card will receive €3,000, said Ms. Murphy, who believes the scheme doesn't go far enough.
