Bessborough Site Must Become National Memorial | Cork News
Description
Sinn Féin is demanding the government secure funding to buy the Bessborough site in Cork—a haunting former mother and baby home where over 18,000 lives passed through its doors—turning it into a national memorial. With missing burial records for nearly 900 children and 19 women, and fears of development erasing its legacy, survivors and campaigners are pleading for the state to act decisively. Taoiseach Micheál Martin has already intervened, urging Cork City Council to explore purchase options with financial support on the table. The urgency is clear: without concrete action, the site risks being lost to history—or worse, forgotten.
