The granddaughter of a woman buried in a mass grave believes there could be dozens more bodies buried there.

The shock allegations come as prayers were said across the country yesterday for the almost 800 babies discovered in a septic tank in Tuam, Co Galway.

Angela Collins, who was originally called Angelina before she was re-named by nuns, is buried in a Magdalene Laundry grave at St Finbarr’s cemetery in Togher, Co Cork.

Her family have been fighting to have their beloved grandmother to be exhumed.

They allege there could be many more than the officially recorded 72 women buried at the mass grave.
