Sean Ross Abbey mother and baby home to be scanned for children's remains
There is a well-known angel’s plot in the centre of the grounds in Roscrea, However, a ground penetrating radar scan in 2019 found just 42 babies graves in coffins.
The grounds of the former mother and baby home, Sean Ross Abbey, are to undergo a ground penetrating scan to search for the remains of children who died there, a survivors group has announced.
A team of engineers from Limerick will be brought into the large site in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, after government funding was approved last month to carry out the work. It comes after the Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman announced the recent appointment of Daniel MacSweeney as director of the proposed excavation of the Tuam burial site.
