Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald has sought a report from the Garda on all of the information available to the force about the burial of children’s remains over a period of five decades at a site in Tuam, Co Galway.
She said while there was no Garda criminal investigation into the deaths of babies at a mother and baby home near the burial site where, it is alleged, the children’s remains were dumped in an unmarked communal plot, the Garda was involved in the Government review of what had taken place.
However, Colm Keaveney TD (FF), in whose Galway East constituency the plot is located, called for more decisive action. He urged the closing off of the site and for a team of experts led by State Pathologist Prof Marie Cassidy to examine it.
Mr Keaveney said there was now considerable media interest in the story, with reporters from around the world having arrived in Tuam.
