Order refuses to offer explanation on burials

A religious order has refused to offer any explanation as to why four women who died in its care are named as being buried in two different locations.

The four women who were incarcerated in The Good Shepherd Sisters Magdalene laundry in Cork are listed on headstones at mass graves in two different locations in Cork.

Another woman with a distinctive first name is listed twice on the same headstone at another site but with different dates of death two months apart. The women died on dates ranging from as far back as 1882 right up until 1983.
