Survivors draped babygrows and teddy bears with poignant messages from the gates of Leinster House
Over 1,000 people held a candlelit vigil this evening in memory of the 4,000 babies who died in mother and baby homes.
Emotions ran high as people left poignant messages on babygrows draped on the iron railings of Leinster House along with shoes, teddy bears and flowers in memory of the dead infants.
One read “For the babies we hold in our hearts and not in our arms” and another “For the mothers, the love and support you never had is here today”.
