Sean Ross Abbey in Roscrea, Tipperary.

Engineers have carried out a scan on the grounds of the former mother and baby home Sean Ross Abbey in the hope of locating some of the graves of the children who died there.

The ground-penetrating geophysical exam took place on Monday after almost three years of campaigning by the group, We Are Still Here.
