Leo Varadkar made a private visit to the site of the Tuam babies’ grave on his way home from the recent Fine Gael think-in, Extra.ie can reveal.

The Taoiseach visited the grave in a ‘personal capacity’ before travelling back from Galway to Dublin last Friday – and was said to have been ‘moved’ by the experience.

It is believed he wanted to visit the site before the decision on the future of the children’s grave is decided following the outcome of the Commission of Inquiry’s report next year.
