Relatives of Tuam babies condemn Fr Brendan Kilcoyne's comments as an 'insult'

Fr Kilcoyne was speaking on his podcast, The Brendan Option, last month when he said there was an 'outrageous myth' that the children had 'met an untimely end through bad action'. File picture: The Brendan Option/YouTube

Relatives of the Tuam babies have described as "laughable" comments made by Fr Brendan Kilcoyne who praised the nuns that ran the former mother and baby home. 

The former priest and diocesan secretary of Tuam criticised the excavation of remains underway and said, “a fortune of money” was being used to pay for it and that the care provided by the Bon Secours nuns at the time was “outstanding”.
