Sinn Féin councillor Cathal Ó Conchúir has called on Galway mayor Noel Larkin to open a book of condolences for all the children that died in the mother and baby homes .
Speaking today, Councillor Ó Conchúir said: “This is our holocaust and we should at least remember the most innocent and precious lives that passed away in these homes and who were buried in septic tanks. I will also be sending a request to An Coiste Logainmeacha – the committee that are involved in naming estates, roads etc. – to rename the Western Distributor Road as Bóthar Máthair agus na Leanaí in remembrance of the deceased children and as a reminder to society that this can never happen again”.
