Call for major city road to be renamed in memory of mother and baby home victims

Galway Bay fm newsroom - A city councillor is calling for the Western Distributor Road to be renamed in memory of the children who died in Mother and Baby Homes nationwide.

He's to request that the road be renamed 'Bothar Mathair agus na Leanai'.
