Do Cork people not care?

"Please, Cork people, church and everyone else involved, just stop and think. Please do not go in and start that building until there's a test excavation done. Until the babies are taken out. They have to be there."

In 2012, an Irish amateur historian, Catherine Corless, discovered that there were no burial records for the 796 children who died at the St. Mary's Mother and Baby Home in the west-of-Ireland town of Tuam, which was run by the Bon Secours order of nuns. Tests confirmed that they were buried in a mass grave at the site of St. Mary's, which was demolished in the 1970s. This led to an investigation into the Mother and Baby Home network, which estimated around 9,000 children and babies died across 18 institutions over a 75-year period. The mortality rate for children in these homes was around 15 percent. Now, excavation has begun at the site of St. Mary's. The Dial's Jade Wilson took a look at what happened there, and spoke to people who lived at the institution, and family members of those who may have died there.

'Worse than murder': Ireland's dark history of criminalisation and diabolisation of unwed mothers.

Excavations have begun of an unmarked mass burial site at an Irish former mother and baby home suspected of containing the remains of hundreds of infants and young children.

Oppressive and misogynistic, the institutions represent a dark chapter in the history of once overwhelmingly Catholic and socially conservative Ireland.

Works to enable the excavation of a mass infant burial site starts.

In 2016, investigators found "significant quantities of human remain" underground at the site in Tuam in the Republic of Ireland.

The mother and baby institution was run by the Bon Secours Sisters, an order of Catholic nuns, and it closed in 1961.

It was discovered there were death certificates for 796 children and infants, but no burial records.
