IrishCentral Talks: The Tuam Mother and Baby Home (VIDEO)

The eyes of the world have been on Ireland recently, since news emerged that human remains had been excavated from the site of a former Mother and Baby Home in Tuam Co. Galway; the same home where, as a local historian revealed in 2014, nearly 800 infants and children died between the years of 1925 and 1961, with no burial place ever listed.
Research into archives, records and first-hand accounts has helped to paint a full picture of the horrors and lack of respect for human life that took place in the former St. Mary's Home, but with a story such as this it can be challenging to separate what is true from what has been sensationalized.
