IRELAND
Irish Mirror

The horrors of the Tuam cesspit cast a long shadow over any International Women’s Day celebrations.
And the Taoiseach added to the gloom by appearing to defend the nuns who may have dumped the bodies of up to 800 children in a disused sewer.
Enda had another one of his “we all partied” moments by claiming “no nuns broke into our homes to kidnap our children” adding “we gave them up to what we convinced ourselves was the nuns’ care, and so on”.
What Enda is saying is how could anyone possibly know when women were incarcerated in these homes their babies would end up in a septic tank or be sold to rich Yanks?
He seems to be suggesting there is some affliction affecting the Irish psyche which prevents us from seeing horrors that are taking place in plain sight.
