But for many, that apology will not be enough.

Lohan ​told CNN that she disagrees with the planned state apology, saying that ​no apology should be issued until survivors have had a chance to read and digest the Commission's findings, which could take many weeks.

She also suggested that an apology should be the first of a series of several, noting that the commission's investigations only covered 18 institutions, while some 180 sites were part of an Irish system that facilitated ​child neglect, premature death, forced adoptions, enforced disappearances, enforced labor, the stripping of identities, the falsification of state documents and the forging of mothers' ​consents.

The report does not ​appear to fully address the allegations of forced or illegal adoptions, only stating that "many allegations have been made that large sums of money were given to the institutions and agencies in Ireland that arranged foreign adoptions. Such allegations are impossible to prove and impossible to disprove."
