The Religious Sisters of Charity who ran the former Donnybrook Magdalene laundry in Dublin have said they do not have any concerns that former residents may be buried in unmarked graves on the site or elsewhere.
Their statement follows concerns raised in a planning application for the redevelopment of the laundry that there may be unmarked graves on the site because of its past as a Magdalene laundry.
The site is due to be redeveloped into apartments by a Gibraltar-based property company.
An archaeological assessment attached to the planning application raises concerns about “the potential for burials in the area.”
