The Galway site where bodies of hundreds of babies and children were disposed off should be treated as a crime scene, opposition TDs demanded.

Children’s Minister Charlie Flanagan said the Government would decide on what lines of investigation to mount before the end of the month, as he indicated that the probe would not be confined to Tuam.
