Experts say children buried at Tuam mother and baby home may never be identified

Galway Bay fm newsroom - An expert group has cast serious doubt over whether the children buried at the Tuam mother and baby home site can ever be identified.

The group says DNA testing at the site, as of now, is “highly unlikely” to identify the remains of the children.

It says the Government must seek to manage expectations of what can be achieved.

According to the Irish Times, the expert group's findings will be considered by Cabinet today.
