The Sisters of Bon Secours, which ran St Mary's Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, says its willing to participate in a redress scheme for survivors
The order has apologised for its part in the scandal and says that it did not live up to its Christianity when running the home.
It also acknowledges that infants and children who died at the Home were buried in a disrespectful and unacceptable way.
The Taoiseach will make a formal state apology to Mother and Baby Home survivors in the Dáil later.
Minister for Children, Roderick O'Gorman, says survivors were failed by the church and state:
"First of all, I think, no one can read this report, without noting the huge failings of both the State and the Church. The State regulated these institutions and failed to do so in a meaningful way. And there's a line there where the Commission statet, that none of these institutions were ever prosecuted for their failures"
