Religious order amends headstone after Magdalene burial duplication

A religious order which listed four Magdalene women as being buried in two different locations has amended the headstone.

Last week, the Irish Examiner reported that the Good Shepherd Order refused to offer any explanation as to why the names were duplicated at two 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.
