Protesters demand preservation of Bessborough site, opposing 140-apartment plan over unconfirmed graves of 923 children.
Protesters in Dublin are opposing plans to build 140 apartments on the former Bessborough mother and baby home site in Cork, calling it a desecration of a burial ground where 923 children died between 1924 and 1994.
Survivors, campaigners, and politicians argue the site, where only 64 graves have been confirmed, should be preserved as a national memorial to Ireland’s painful history of institutionalizing unmarried mothers and their children.
Despite government acknowledgment of the emotional toll, officials say they cannot block the development without conclusive evidence of burials.
The 'No Building Over Bessborough' campaign urges immediate action to secure the site for forensic investigation and memorialization.
