The selection of a 'Director of Authorised Intervention' is a key element in the effort to try and identify remains that were placed in underground chambers at the home between 1925 and 1961

The selection of a 'Director of Authorised Intervention' is a key element in the effort to try and identify remains that were placed in underground chambers at the home between 1925 and 1961.

Subsequent investigations determined that there were infant remains in 18 chambers on the site. Initial surveys have identified a range of bones from babies and children, up to the age of around six years. The role is provided for as part of the Institutional Burials Act, which was passed last summer. The legislation allows for the forensic excavation, recovery and analysis of human remains, which were buried in a"manifestly inappropriate manner".

The process will take place on a phased basis, starting with excavation, followed by recovery of remains and then DNA matching.
