Baby memorial after infant's plot sold by Limerick Diocese

A memorial is to be unveiled next week for babies whose resting place was disturbed when the Diocese of Limerick sold the area known as the Infant’s Plot for adult graves.

Phil and Paul Walsh lost baby William when he was delivered close to six months into Phil’s pregnancy in December 1971.

“I went to visit the plot and I couldn’t believe what I saw. There were adult graves where the Innocents Plot used to be,” Mrs Walsh told the Limerick Post.
