Some survivors' groups believe what was uncovered in Tuam in County Galway could be replicated elsewhere.
Speaking to our North Tipperary correspondent Domhnall Doyle who was in Roscrea this morning – locals feel that Sean Ross Abbey needs to form part of a wider investigation into infant deaths at mother and baby homes.
The Abbey which was highlighted in recent years through the film Philomena – operated from the 1930s to 1970s and details of infant deaths there along with Bessborough have been held with the HSE now Tusla since 2011.
It's among those being looked at by the Commission of Investigation which on Friday revealed it found hundreds of children's remains at a Mother and Baby home in Tuam.
They were found in septic tank chambers and the ages range from approximately 35 foetal weeks to two to three years.
Government Minister Leo Varadkar has described the scandal at Tuam as nothing less than gruesome adding the Commission needs to continue its work as so many questions remain unanswered
Some survivors' groups believe what was uncovered in Tuam could be replicated elsewhere.
The Coalition of Mother and Baby home Survivors claims that up to 7,000 babies could have been buried at 9 mother and baby homes across the country.
Chairperson Paul Redmond says the worst is yet to come, while speaking to Tipp FM in Roscrea this morning, locals believe any expanded investigation by the Commission must include Sean Ross Abbey.
