Last week, Dr Maeve O'Rourke continued her advocacy in relation to the forced separation of families through the Mother and Baby Homes, County Homes and adoption system. Maeve is co-director of the 'Clann Project', a voluntary collaboration between Hogan Lovells International LLP, Adoption Rights Alliance and Justice for Magdalenes Research. The Clann Project assisted 82 people to provide witness statements to the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation and published a group report and recommendations in October 2018.
On behalf of the Clann Project, Maeve and Claire McGettrick issued Briefing Notes last Monday summarising a range of legal and policy changes needed to provide justice to mothers, adopted people, the families of the disappeared, and other victims and survivors.
Maeve appeared on RTE Prime Time on Tuesday 12 January, and Morning Ireland on RTE Radio 1 on Wednesday 13 January. She was also interviewed for RTE Six One and Nine News on Sunday 17 January regarding vaccine and milk trials, conducted without consent, on children in Mother and Baby Homes.
Maeve was included in the Irish Independent's list of '50 people to watch in 2021' in the New Year.
