Tuam Finds 22 More Infant Remains Total 99
The Tuam excavation has recovered 99 infant remains, with 22 newly found, as researchers continue digging outside the memorial garden to identify victims who died at St Mary’s between 1925 and 1961; the team has collected 62 DNA reference samples to aid identification. While earlier estimates suggested hundreds buried in a sewage system, the ongoing work focuses on linking the remains to names through documentation, digs, and DNA analysis, conducted under the Office of the Director of Authorised Intervention Tuam.

About Bon Secours Sisters
The Congregation of the Sisters of Bon Secours is an international Roman Catholic women's religious congregation for nursing, whose declared mission is to care for those who are sick and dying. It was founded by Josephine Potel in 1824, in Paris, France. While the Congregation's stated object is to care for patients from all socio-economic groups, in some territories they only operate for-profit private hospitals. Reflecting their name, the Congregation's motto is "Good Help to Those in Need".
