Call for Bons Secours order to disband in the aftermath of Tuam babies scandal

Galway Bay fm newsroom - There's a call for the Bons Secours order to disband in the aftermath of the Tuam babies scandal.

Also, following the discovery of the remains of an estimated 800 babies and children at the Tuam institution, being sent to a mother and baby home has been described as receiving a lifetime sentence.

Furthermore, there've been calls for other homes around the country to be investigated after recent discoveries in Tuam.

The disturbing discovery of a significant number of children's remains last week has led for calls for a wider investigation.

People Before Profit say there could be thousands of bodies at the sites of homes around the country.

PBP Councillor Deirdre Wadding was herself sent to Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork in 1981 - and said it was a truly awful experience.

Her party colleague TD Brid Smith called for the Bon Secours nuns, who ran the home in Tuam, to be disbanded.

It follows calls from Justice for Magdelenes and other groups to expand the current Commission of Investigation into mother and baby homes.
