The Archbishop of Tuam, Dr Michael Neary, is “horrified and saddened”
by revelations confirming the presence of significant human remains,
thought to be those of some 796 children, buried in an underground
sewage treatment works at the former Sisters of the Bon Secours’
Children’s Home in the town.
Speaking last Sunday morning, Dr Neary reflected on a by-gone era: “This points to a time of great suffering and pain for the little ones and their mothers. I can only begin to imagine the huge emotional wrench which the mothers suffered in giving up their babies for adoption or by witnessing their death.”
