Judge Yvonne Murphy chaired the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation and was one of the main authors of the report, published last month and 3,000 pages in length. She has now declined an invitation to appear before the Oireachtas Committee on Children, having been invited to appear on February 16. The committee sent the commission an email to say Ms Justice Murphy would be invited to speak before the commission. She said that “everything” will be done by the committee to facilitate Ms Justice Murphy, or any other members of the commission.
