Great news! Today, it was announced by Trinity College Dublin that the stolen Inishbofin human remains will be returned. Trinity's statement reads: 

"Trinity College Dublin is to return human remains to the island of Inishbofin, from where they were taken without the community’s consent more than a century ago. 

The decision was approved today [22 February 2023] by the Board of the University following a period of research, analysis and public consultation about the future of the remains overseen by the Trinity Legacies Review Working Group."
