PLANS to transform the old Grove hospital once owned by the Bon
Secours nuns in Tuam won't include any work at a former nuns' burial
site, according to the HSE.
While excavation works will be carried out as part of the redevelopment of the old Grove hospital which is being turned into a Community Mental Health facility, the plot to the rear of the site, where it's thought babies were also buried at the foot of nuns' graves, won't be touched.
