Delay to excavation at Tuam mother and baby homes site 'an insult'

A shrine in Tuam, Co Galway, erected in memory of up to 800 children who were allegedly buried at the site.

A woman whose sister is believed to be buried in a mass grave in Tuam has hit out at the government’s progress report for survivors of the mother and baby homes, describing it as a “travelling circus”.

Yesterday, the Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman published a five-point update on the Annual Action Plan for the institutions.
