Religious order reported to the State that 353 babies died in
Bessborough, but its own register showed 80 fewer deaths. A report found
a system of ‘human trafficking’ in which ‘women and babies were
considered little more than a commodity for trade’. Conall Ó Fatharta reports
THE revelation that the order which operated the Bessborough Mother and Baby home was reporting higher numbers of infant deaths to the State than it recorded in its own death register raises some serious questions So far, the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary have declined to offer any answers. The order says it will only deal with the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes. It can only be hoped that Judge Yvonne Murphy can get some answers. It is imperative she does.
