Case over Tuam Mother and Baby Home records is further adjourned

Summary

An application by Peter Mulryan, a 73‑year‑old man from Derrymullen, Ballinasloe, seeks information about his infant sister Marian Bridget Mulryan, who is believed to have died in February 1955 at St Mary's mother and baby home in Tuam. Mulryan has brought proceedings against Tusla, requesting any material that may exist concerning his sister. Tusla claims it has provided all information it knows and has made its records available to the Commission investigating the Tuam home. The case was returned before Mr Justice Richard Humphreys, who considered whether to grant permission for a full hearing or a telescoped hearing combining the leave application and the full hearing. The judge adjourned the matter to allow Mulryan's lawyers to consider further amendments to the statement of grounds. The adjournment gives the parties time to clarify the orders sought. The court had previously adjourned the leave application several times to clarify the exact orders being requested.
