Mother and baby home survivor Tony Kelly finally laid to rest

Tony Kelly, 76, from Tallaght in South Dublin, spent 31 years trying to trace his family after suffering abuse in the care of the State.

A high-profile mother and baby home survivor who died in November last year was only buried on Thursday after a lengthy DNA investigation to confirm his identity.

Anthony (Tony) Kelly was fostered out by the State to 10 families as a child and only discovered the identity of his birth mother in 2013 after attending her funeral without knowing who she was.
