THE order of nuns that ran the infamous Mother and Baby Home at Tuam have apologised for the treatment of women and children at the institution and the “disrespectful and unacceptable” way infants who died were buried.
The Sisters of Bon Secours also confirmed to Independent.ie that they will participate in the Government’s planned redress scheme for survivors.
The scandal of what happened in the various Mother and Baby homes around the country was revealed due to the work of historian Catherine Corless.
