‘We don’t want compensation, we want answers for Marion’

THE family of a baby girl who died three days after she was admitted to the notorious Goldenbridge orphanage in Dublin is calling for her exhumation to investigate the cause of death.

Frances Howe, sister of 11-month-old Marion, says her parents were left “devastated” after the death of their youngest daughter in 1955.

“Marion’s birth cert says she died of dysentery, but when my father went to the hospital to see her she had a bandage on her head, burns on her legs and holes the size of a silver dollar coin,” says Ms Howe.
