A geophysical survey has been carried out on the site of a former mother and baby home in County Galway.
It is believed nearly 800 children are buried in the grounds of what was once a mother and baby home run by nuns in Tuam.
A child died nearly every two weeks between the mid-1920s and 1960s.
The Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes confirmed the survey was taking place.
It was being conducted over the surface of the ground and will be done with the consent of Galway County Council, who are the owners of the Dublin Road housing estate site.
