Survivors of the Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork have rejected a new report that casts doubt on the existence of a large unmarked burial ground at the site.

A report, commissioned by the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, has asserted that nuns and children were all buried in a marked congregation burial enclosure on the Bessborough site.
