Tuam babies: Survivors threaten to sue Irish government
The campaigners think the government is frightened of the damage to the church that a full excavation would do, so they are threatening court action.
Survivors of a notorious children’s home in Ireland are threatening to take the government to court.
They are outraged over its failure to exhume the bodies of hundreds of children, some barely a day-old, who died in the care of the Catholic Church in the small town of Tuam.
It comes five years after the existence of a burial pit was revealed.
As many as 796 bodies are buried in chambers under the small town of Tuam.
Al Jazeera’s Laurence Lee reports from Tuam.
