Tuam Exhumations and the Fate of Other Sites | Cork News
Description
Infant remains from Tuam’s hidden burial ground now number 99, with forensic experts calling the excavation methods a potential global model—but the fate of other mother and baby home sites like Bessborough and Sean Ross Abbey rests with the government. Bessborough, now approved for 106 apartments, may harbor unrecorded remains, according to forensic archaeologist Niamh McCullagh, who urges construction monitoring and protection of any discoveries. With nearly 2,000 children’s remains still missing from these institutions, families face painful decisions as development looms over sites where history and tragedy intersect.
