Minister Simon Coveney said there is a “significant responsibility” on the State following the discovery of the mass grave of babies in Tuam, Co Galway.
The Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government also said garda involvement in the investigation into the remains at the site of the former mother and baby home cannot be ruled out.
