There are calls for the sites of two former Magdalene laundries in Dublin to be examined for children’s graves.
It follows a socking report last week that showed hundreds of remains had been discovered in Tuam.
On Friday it was confirmed that significant quantities of human remains had been found in a septic tank on the site of a mother and baby home in Co. Galway.
Records show that almost 800 deaths were recorded at the home over almost 40 years.
There are now calls for the planned redevelopment of the Magdalene laundry in Donnybrook and any potential redevelopment of the laundry off Sean McDermott St. not the take place until the sits are fully examined for graves.
