Summary
Catherine Corless, the Tuam mother and baby home whistleblower, is sounding the alarm in Cork over plans to build 140 apartments on land that may hold the remains of hundreds of infants buried at Bessborough. She condemns the rush to develop, calling it inhumane and echoing the neglect seen in Tuam, where children were buried without recognition. With official records confirming 923 child deaths at the site, campaigners are demanding a halt to construction until test excavations can be conducted — insisting these babies deserve to be found, honored, and remembered, not buried under concrete.
