A PRIEST has criticised the excavation of remains underway at the former mother and baby home in Tuam, describing the nuns who ran the institution as “outstanding”.

Excavation works began last month with the aim of recovering and analysing the remains of nearly 800 infants buried at the site.

Many are believed to have been interred in a disused septic tank.
