Hundreds of babies buried on Tuam mother and baby home site may never be detailed

Hundreds of children buried on the site of the Tuam mother and baby home may never be individually identified, unless the Government commits to a multimillion-euro forensic investigation.

That is according to the expert technical group advising the Government about managing the site.

Its findings came just a week after the Mother and Baby Homes Commission admitted it will be “difficult to establish the facts” surrounding the burials of children who died in all of the homes it is investigating.
