Probe urged for exhumed bodies on Magdalen plot
The National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI) yesterday urged the department to investigate what happened in 1993 when the bodies buried on a plot of land at High Park, Drumcondra, Dublin were removed. All but one of the bodies were cremated at Glasnevin Cemetery.
Death certificates existed for only 75 of the 133 bodies found initially, even though it is a criminal offence to fail to register a death that happens on an owner’s premises. An additional 22 bodies were also found.
