Groups campaigning for generations of unmarried mothers and their children have said the State must ensure that all human remains buried in unmarked graves at institutions are identified.
It follows confirmation yesterday by the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation that significant quantities of human remains have been discovered at the site of a children’s burial ground in Tuam in Co Galway.
Minister for Children and Youth Affairs Katherine Zappone has said the first concern must be to respect the dignity and the memory of the children.
She also said that Galway County Council would engage with local residents and those affected to decide what happens to the remains.
