Bog Babies - Cillíní in Thurles

This is a panel discussion open to the public looking at the history and folklore around Cillini in Thurles.

Artist Eddie Kenehan has been investigating these 'Cillíní' sites in the locality, which potentially contain still-born babies.

Babies who weren't baptised were often buried in these non-consecrated graveyard sites, in an informal manner. We understand that there may be two sites in and around Thurles and the discussion at The Source looks to identify the sites more clearly and map them for posterity.

The purpose of this forum is not to apportion blame in any manner but to chat about the sites and see if they should be marked in some manner in the future.

If you have any information in advance or wish to speak on the night, email Eddie at: edwardkenehan9@gmail.com
