Mother and Baby Homes Payment Scheme

The Mother and Baby Institution Payment Scheme will open for applications on Wednesday the 20th of March 2024. This is very much welcomed news after a very long wait by survivors.

What happens now?

If you have been in contact with us previously regarding an application to the scheme, you will have received our recent Newsletter outlining the next steps. We intend to meet with all of our clients immediately after the scheme opens. We will go through the application process with you, advise you on your eligibility and entitlement, complete your application form and arrange to have it submitted without delay. We will be travelling to various locations nationwide to meet those for whom it is not practical to travel to our offices, and further information will be issued in this regard.

If you have not been in contact with us previously, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please submit your details through the contact form on this page, or by telephoning us at (01) 5313800. We ask that you please bear with us while we respond to each enquiry.

Are there fees involved?

Coleman Legal LLP will never seek to recover any fees from the redress that you receive.

What if I am not eligible to apply to the scheme?

If you are not currently eligible to apply to the scheme, be it as a result of residing in a listed institution for less than 180 days as a former child resident, or as a result of residing in a non-listed institution, we would still welcome your contact. Coleman Legal LLP will continue to fight for justice for former child residents who are currently excluded from the scheme.
