It’s believed almost 800 babies were buried in a mass grave next to the Tuam Mother and Baby home in Co Galway between 1925 and 1961. The home was run by the Bons Secours nuns in Galway.
The Archbishop of Tuam is due to meet with the Bon Secours nuns to discuss the grave.
Fr Iggy O’Donovan, an Augustinian Priest based in Limerick and Fianna Fáil TD Colm Keaveney join Ciara McDonagh on Newstalk Lunchtime to discuss the issue.
Keaveney said it was “premature to talk about commemoration as commemoration would indicate closure”
