  1. CW: Tuam official investigation

    The Irish gov't held a Commission into #tuam and issued a final report 30 October 2020. You can read it here. This happened due to pressure from activists on the Irish government, which is still to this day staunchly influenced, perhaps controlled ,by the church.

  6. CW: Tuam mass child graves

    CW/TW: Mass graves, religious abuse, mother and baby homes
    The story of Tuam , Ireland 's mass graves has a very similar trajectory to those of the Indigenous children who died at residential schools in places like Kamloops, BC.
    Many of the Irish press, officials, and most of all, the church, tried to deny that this happened.
    But it did.

    These are some of their stories.

  11. 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.

  13. '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.

  14. Dig begins at site in #Ireland believed to hold remains of nearly 800 infants - theguardian.com/world/2025/jul remember: it was *nuns* who buried these "shameful" babies, many of whom probably died from neglect, in a septic tank... #religion #tuam

  15. “No nuns broke into our homes to kidnap our children. …We gave them up because of our perverse, in fact, morbid relationship with what is called respectability,”

  16. 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.

  18. ‘A stain on Ireland’s conscience’: identification to begin of bodies buried at a children’s home.

    Between 1925 and 1961, 796 children died at the St Mary’s mother and baby home, run by nuns from the Bon Secours order – but there were no burial records.

    Babies and children were interred in the home’s grounds, many in a septic tank. A team of forensic investigators has been tasked with exhuming, analysing and identifying remains.
