The Catholic Archbishop of Tuam has called for a detailed examination of the role of the Church and the State in the running of mother and baby homes.
In a homily delivered at mass this evening, Dr Michael Neary said the Commission of Investigation must deliver clear and objective findings, no matter what the consequences for the institutions involved.
It was reported last week that “significant quantities” of human remains were discovered at the site of a former mother-and-baby home in Tuam, Co Galway.
The mother and baby home was run by the Bon Secours order from 1925 to 1961.
It is the second weekend in a row that the Archbishop has used his homily to deal with the fallout from the recent update from the Commission.
