Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Children's Minister is being accused of ignoring some of the survivors of mother and baby homes.
It follows the revelation yesterday that the remains of a "significant" number of young children and babies have been found at the site of the former home in Tuam.
Minister Katherine Zappone says the discovery was not unexpected, but was still deeply disturbing and must be appropriately responded to.
Paul Redmond - Chairperson of the Coalition of Mother and Baby home Survivors - says this case is just the tip of the iceberg.
He alleges that since Minister Zappone's appointment, she has ignored the group and 'will have nothing to do with us'.
Mr Redmond has also criticised the way families found about yesterday's developments through the media.
