A congregation of nuns that ran three of the State’s mother-and-baby homes has said it would welcome an independent inquiry into the issues surrounding the burial of babies and children in unmarked graves.
The Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary ran mother-and-baby homes in Sean Ross Abbey in Co Tipperary, Bessborough near Cork city and Castlepollard, Co Westmeath.
In a statement to RTÉ News, a spokesperson for the congregation said it would be happy to take part in such an inquiry to establish the truth about what it called a “very sad chapter in the history of Irish society”.
