Campaigners have renewed calls for the compulsory purchase of a suspected children’s burial site on the former Bessborough mother and baby home estate in Cork after it was afforded certain zoning protections in the new city development plan.

The Cork Survivors and Supporters Alliance (CSSA) said the privately owned site won’t be fully safe until it is in public ownership.
