This morning/afternoon.
Government Buildings, Dublin2.
Minister for Children Roderic O’Gorman (above) received cabinet approval to publish the Institutional Burials Bill that will provide a ‘legal basis’ to allow recovery and identification of the children interred at the site of the former Mother and Baby Home in Tuam.
Survivor groups say a legal basis already exists with the lawful obligation of a coroner to perform an inquest into any death within their district.
The legislation will ‘allow the Government, by order, to direct an intervention at a site and to approve the appointment of a Director to oversee and manage a phased, step-by-step approach’ comprising:
Excavation of the site
Recovery of human remains
Post recovery analysis of remains to support, where possible, establishing circumstances and cause of death
Identification of remains through DNA familial matching
Return of remains to family members or respectful re-interment.

This afternoon.
Tuam, county Galway.
Minister O’Gorman publishes Institutional Burials Bill (Gov.ie)
Thank you Catherine Corless.
Hopefully this does actually result in the above steps.
Well done Catherine Corless, you are amazing, hopefully you can rest easy and enjoy the grandchildren, you are an inspiration to us all.
absolutely, I had the privilege of hearing her speak at Trinity, she’s an inspiration.
Hard to find words to describe the person that Catherine Corless is. Hero perhaps.
Maybe Terry Prone could be relieved of any contracts she has with the State after her lies.

Don’t hold your breath on this just yet.

Correct
O’Gorman is procrastinating, the question is why? I suspect that Mehole’s devotion to all things Catholic is behind this ridiculous waste of Oireachtas time and taxpayer’s money.
And now they will take their sweet time finding people to actually do it and then there will have to be a report on the findings and maybe a report on the report on the findings.
And then maybe information will be released to families or the public. They will drag their heels every inch of the way .

…if this had been Cambodia and the killing fields, forensic archaeologists would have been called in straight away…Roderic has kicked the can further down the road…Tess has earned her fee…
It’s so disgusting.
…first a whitewash…then a greenwash…shame on them…
Abrahamic religions. A gift that keeps on giving.
And still, despite her lies, Tess picks up taxpayers money.
Shameful
Still in our enlightened Ireland we have same sex rights ,surrogacy ,abortion , but none of those skeletons of dead babies that would of been trafficked the fruit of single mothers have been given a burial .
Seems as a nation we never moved heaven and earth even now to bring justice .
