flag Irish court orders new review of 1960 baby’s death at Bessborough home due to flawed inquest denial.

flag An Irish High Court has ordered a reconsideration of the 1960 death of baby William Gerard Walsh, who died at 37 days old at the Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork, after his mother challenged the coroner’s refusal to hold an inquest. flag The court found the original decision to deny an inquest was flawed, citing speculative cause of death and missing medical records. flag The case is part of broader scrutiny of the home, where 923 infants died and only 64 burial records remain. flag The decision allows for a new assessment of whether an inquest is warranted.
