Minister warns on baby home flats proposal

CHILDREN’S Minister Roderic O’Gorman has lodged a submission on plans to build apartments on the site of a notorious former Mother and Baby Home.

The Green Party TD has warned against disturbing the children’s burial ground at Bessborough, Cork, where 900 infants are believed to be interred in unmarked graves.

More than 20 objections have been lodged against the proposal by MWB Two Ltd with a decision due from Cork City Council next Tuesday.

Survivors, politicians and neighbouring residents have voiced concerns over any disturbance of the burial site, which they want preserved.
