Zappone: Bon Secours order has 'ethical responsibility' to provide more funding for Tuam exhumation

Minister for Children Katherine Zappone has said that the Bon Secours order has an “ethical responsibility” to provide more funding for the exhumation and reburial of the remains of babies at the Tuam Mother and Baby home.

The order has committed to contributing €2.5m towards the cost which is estimated could be between €6m and €13m. The Minister told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland that she has asked the order for more money.
