Survivors ‘did the impossible’ by finding graves at  mother and baby homes

There was not even a flower petal left to mark the graves of the hundreds of children who died in the Protestant mother and baby homes.

That’s why members of the Bethany Survivors Group felt they had “achieved the impossible” when they found them.

They stood in silence in a graveyard Dublin yesterday as a new memorial bearing the names of more than 70 babies and children who died in the Bethany Mother and Baby Home was unveiled.
