A group representing survivors of ‘Mother and Baby’ homes has described the Tuam case as ‘just the tip of the iceberg’ – and says the worst is yet to come.
It follows yesterday’s revelation that the remains of a “significant” number of young children and babies have been found at the site of the former home at the Athenry Road.
The Commission of Investigation examining the issue says the shocking discovery was made in 17 of 20 underground chambers intended to be used as part of a sewage system.
Children’s Minister Katherine Zappone says the discovery is not unexpected, but is deeply disturbing and must be appropriately responded to – however, she says no decision has been made yet on how to proceed from here.
