Tuam committee have no say on graveyard

I am disheartened and dismayed to hear that the Tuam Graveyard Committee wishes to make representation to Minister Reilly in order to ‘implacably oppose’ the exhumation of the Tuam site.

My understanding was that they wished to create a memorial to the children who are presumed buried at the site ,and I made a generous donation on behalf of my mother to the committee in memory of my sister who is named as one of the missing children.

I did not realise that they considered themselves the guardians of these children and therefore could assume the right to speak on their behalf.
