The historian who uncovered the scandal at the Galway mother and baby home run by the Bon Secours nuns said she expects the painstaking excavation process to start this summer.
The bodies of hundreds of babies who died were wrapped in cloths and dumped in the chambers of a defunct sewerage system behind the former workhouse from 1940 to 1961 after the nuns ceased box burials.
The building has since been demolished and replaced by a housing development and playground – but the underground chambers remain.
Ms Corless said the remains are mixed and the cloths they were wrapped in are long gone. She added: “They are literally going to have to take every little bone they find and label it. And it will be an extraordinary effort by them.”

It looks like they may have found a similar mass burial at another baby stealing operation in Roscrea, Co. Tipp. Ground surveys on a patch of rough ground have picked up anomalies cobsistent with burials.
Plus we'll never know how many thousands were murdered at Bessboro, Douglas, Cork nor where their bodies were discarded.
