Campaigner says college used the remains of 1,980 people from mother and baby homes for research purposes
by a campaigner who said the remains of almost 2,000 people from mother and baby homes and workhouses were used by the institution for research purposes.
On Wednesday Eunan Duffy from Truth Recovery NI told the committee that the remains of 1,980 adults, children and babies had been used for research at Queen’s, and in the case of 1,824, it was not known what happened to their remains and body parts thereafter. The chairwoman of the committee, the Alliance MLA Paula Bradshaw, said Queen’s had been invited to the evidence session but “didn’t have anyone available”.
“In the instances where families requested the body be returned, the university does not hold a burial or cremation record.
