Deputy Catherine Connolly made the comments after a motion was introduced, calling for the commission to be extended.

She accused Minister Roderic O' Gorman of using "weasel words" in stating he would not oppose the motion, while failing to give any clarity on what he actually proposed to do.

Deputy Connolly argued the people who went forward and took their courage in their hands to tell their stories deserve much more than that.

She said she was not reassured by Minister O' Gorman, and felt something was "very wrong" in his department.

Deputy Connolly said Minister O' Gorman is not leading, and accused him of using the same "weasel words" as used in the commission's report on Mother and Baby Homes.

Deputy Connolly said the Minister needs to take charge and give commitments on what happens next:

95.8 MHz Galway City
95.8 MHz Clifden & West Connemara
97.4 MHz South Connemara & Aran Islands
96.8 MHz County Galway
97.4 MHz East Galway
97.2 MHz Gort Area
