In 20th century Ireland, the Catholic Church exerted huge control over almost every aspect of people’s lives.

If or when they re-entered society, women sent to mother and baby homes were not expected to talk about what happened to them, let alone attempt to reconnect with their children.

Roderic O’Gorman is the latest minister to be passed what some survivors call a poisoned chalice. He is tasked with addressing the issues caused by Ireland's mother and baby home system - but how much can he achieve while in office? And does he recognise the hurt the Commission’s report caused?
