Ok so, the NI #motherandbabyhomes report and its ROI counterpart are not directly comparable for many reasons. However, the NI report models some best practice that deserves to be highlighted/praised.
I (obviously) haven't had time to read the whole thing yet. (But at a first glance, it strikes me as well-written, so I have it on my list).
Like the ROI Commissioners, the academic authors here have huge power over the story. They carefully make themselves accountable for their scholarship and its effects. So here are some good things:
1) The Report attributes its origins to recommendations of UN Treaty bodies. It doesn't engage in sustained human-rights-based analysis, but doesn't ignore it either.
2) The researchers behind the report were appointed following a competitive tendering process.
With @seanoco78853943 and @LiviDeeHistory and John Privilege it's been a long road but very glad to see this report published today https://t.co/MpPPkmepxi
