Remains of another 36 infants recovered from burial site at Tuam mother and baby home

The exhumation began last July, following a lengthy investigation into the mass burial site at the former mother‑and‑baby home, first uncovered in 2014, where up to 796 children died.

The remains of another 36 infants have been recovered from the burial site at Tuam mother and baby home. 

Up to three children were buried in the same coffin, some of which were damaged by mechanical diggers.
