Concerns that death records were falsified in Bessborough Mother and
Baby Home so children could “be brokered in clandestine adoption
arrangements” at home and abroad were raised in an internal HSE report
in 2012.
The unpublished report highlighted the “wholly epidemic” infant deaths rates at the Cork home and said: “The question whether indeed all of these children actually died while in Bessboro or whether they were brokered into clandestine adoption arrangements, both foreign and domestic, has dire implications for the Church and State and not least for the children and families themselves.”
