Text

I thank the First Minister for her response. I am anxious and keen to ensure that the inquiry includes protection for burial sites. Does she agree that that protection is especially urgent given the concerns around the ongoing work at Milltown Cemetery, which may be causing damage to the resting place of thousands, including, according to Amnesty International, potentially hundreds of babies from mother-and-baby homes?
