A bishop has called for criminal investigations into involuntary manslaughter at mother and baby homes.
The Bishop of Waterford and Lismore Alphonsus Cullinan said gardaí should also investigate those who perpetrated physical abuse against women and babies.
‘To allow a baby to die, and not to do anything about it, that, of course, is totally and utterly wrong, absolutely inexcusable,’ he told WLR radio. ‘These kind of specific things can be investigated again going forward.’
