Child’s burial details not in report

The burial of a young girl in a paupers grave in a Cork city cemetery in 1989 is not cited among just 64 burials found for the Bessborough Mother and Baby Home in a recent report.

The long-running inquiry published its final interim report in April and revealed that despite “very extensive inquiries and searches”, it could only establish the burial place of 64 of the 900 children that died in Bessborough or in hospital after being transferred from the institution.
