‘Angel plot’ in Tuam surveyed

A preliminary survey of the Tuam Mother and Baby Home graveyard has taken place in Galway.

The geographical survey was conducted on behalf of the Mother and Baby Homes Commission yesterday and carried out with the consent of Galway County Council, the owners of the site.

It is unclear if, or when, similar surveys of ‘angel plots’ or graveyards on the sites of other mother and baby homes will be undertaken.
