Families and survivors of Tuam Mother and Baby Home to be represented at meeting with Taoiseach

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Families of children who died at the Tuam Mother and Baby Home - as well as survivors of the institution - will be represented at a meeting with the Taoiseach on Monday.

It's after Leo Varadkar made a private visit to the site of the former home last month while attending a Fine Gael think-in held in Salthill.

The home was run by the Bon Secours order until its closure in 1961.

The Government has previously been heavily criticised for its long-running Commission of Inquiry into the site, which will decide its future.

Familes and survivors have often expressed frustration at a perceived lack of respect for their wishes - including the urgent need for a full excavation.
