The Minister for Children says the government is considering how best to deal with the discovery of the remains of nearly 800 children in Co Galway.
Charlie Flanagan says the government is considering the 'many questions' raised regarding the deaths.
The remains of 796 children remain in a septic tank near a former home for unmarried mothers. It's thought some of the remains have been present for up to 90 years.
In a statement Minister Flanagan said a number of government departments were working together to consider the best possible course of action.
