An event to remember mothers and babies who were in or who lost their lives in the former mother and baby home in Thomastown is taking place today.
The home – which is now St Columba’s – is one of the sample of institutions around the country currently under investigation.
Babies and children who died there were buried in what’s known as the Shankyard there.
Today’s remembrance walk starts at 3 at the Church on Market Street and finishes at that grave site.
