Mystery continues to shroud the whereabouts of the graves of 80 children who died in Glenamaddy – the institution that predated the Tuam mother and baby home. 

Both Galway County Council and Tusla have confirmed to the Irish Examiner that neither body holds burial records for the 80 babies and infants who died between 1921 and 1925.
