Letters to the Editor: Sean Ross Abbey must be excavated

A survivor of the mother and baby home in Roscrea, Co Tipperary says it needs to be excavated before more time is lost

The Sean Ross Abbey in Roscrea, Tipperary, was a mother and baby home operated by the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary from 1930 to 1970.

With the latest information released from the Tuam excavation, I felt I had no choice but to write this. What is happening in Tuam is showing the country that the truth can stay hidden underground for generations, even when everything looks normal on the surface. 

And that is exactly why Sean Ross Abbey needs to be excavated before more time is lost, while the mothers of these children are still alive.
