Mission
To restore dignity in death and, where possible, an identity to those inappropriately buried between 1922 and 1961 at the site of the former Mother and Baby Institution in Tuam.
Statement of Strategy
Having developed the capacity, ODAIT will forensically excavate the Tuam site, recover and analyse human remains in accordance with international standards and best practice. Acknowledging the high complexity and difficulty, ODAIT will endeavour to individualise and identify those human remains and establish the cause and circumstances of death. Identified human remains will be returned to their families, and unidentified human remains will be buried appropriately and with dignity. All will be memorialised after a consultative process informed by ODAIT’s core values. We will communicate with families and other stakeholders and respect good governance.
