Bessborough Burial Records Under Scrutiny | Limerick News

Cork City Council is poised to push for government action to uncover the truth behind Bessborough Mother and Baby Home, where 923 babies died over 76 years — with only 64 burial sites confirmed. Eight hundred fifty-nine children and nineteen women are missing from official records, raising fears of unmarked graves on the site now slated for 106 apartments. Survivors’ groups demand the land be preserved as a memorial instead, while calling for released archaeological reports and urgent inquests into the deaths. The government backs the council’s land-buying efforts, as mediation continues to balance development with historical justice.
