The final report on Mother and Baby Homes downplayed a number of aspects, according to the Special Rapporteur on Child Protection.
It was published in January last year and was a result of over five and a half years work.
Special Rapporteur Conor O'Mahony says he applied international human rights law principals to some of the evidence in the report:
"The Commission would have downplayed, for example, the question of forced labour and would have said, you know, the evidence was the women were doing labour which was suitable for women, and which wasn't commercial in nature whereas, you know, when I apply the human rights law standards, you know, and the accepted definition of what is forced labour, my conclusion is that actually there was quite significant evidence of forced labour."
