Groundworks on land near Bessborough halted to avoid impacting burial site
Licensed groundworks on privately-owned land close to a notorious former Mother and Baby Home have been halted after distressed campaigners raised concerns the works may have disturbed a burial site.
Cork City Council has now confirmed that it intends to work with the Mother and Baby Home Commission of Investigation in relation to any future works at the site in Bessborough in order to “respect the history and sensitivities” of the area.
