The minister [Frances Fitzgerald]  has previously rejected calls for an independent inquiry so a dedicated team could look for hidden files that will uncover the extent of the scandal.
….While thousands of births were in private nursing homes and not State run institutions, Mrs Tinggal maintains records would have been held by former Dublin Archbishop John McQuaid to ensure siblings never married.
