The religious order that ran the Tuam mother and baby home, where the remains of hundreds of children have been discovered, has failed to issue an apology.
A commission of investigation yesterday announced it had discovered the remains of the young children in underground chambers at the property.
The Bon Secours Sisters said it couldn’t comment on the find, which Minister for Children Katherine Z appone described as “disturbing”.
Significant quantities of human remains were discovered at the site of the former St Mary’s Mother and Baby Home, an institution where unmarried pregnant women were sent to give birth, in Tuam, Co Galway.
