'We want no stone left unturned', say group campaigning for Sean Ross Abbey dig 

Sean Ross Abbey in Roscrea, Co Tipperary: Just 44 babies’ graves were found at the abbey, despite the large number of deaths known to have taken place there.

A group which fought for a ground-penetrating scan of the grounds of the former Sean Ross Abbey mother and baby home say they will leave no stone unturned after an excavation at the site was ruled out.

A report on the scan at the Roscrea property was forwarded a year ago to the Department of Children, and subsequently was sent to the office of the State’s chief archaeologist for review.
