Galway TD calls on Taoiseach to apologise over Tuam baby deaths

The Taoiseach Enda Kenny is being called on to apologise on behalf of the State to the women and children who resided at mother and baby homes.

Fianna Fáil TD Colm Keaveney says the details emerging about one such home in Tuam in Galway where the bodies of up to 800 babies were buried in a tank amounts to a "scandal".
