The woman who exposed the sickening Tuam mass baby grave today revealed that she had been told: “Just leave them there.”
Today brought shocking confirmation that hundreds of infants were discarded in the septic tank of a former mother and baby home, following recent digs in the Galway town.
Historian Catherine Corless, 62, who drove the campaign for justice for nearly 800 dead tots, said she was told to IGNORE their plight.
She said when she started her research it was “nicely covered in and forgotten about”.
“I was asked, ‘What are you doing? It’s a long time ago. If there’s bodies there just leave them’.”
