The revelation last Friday by the commission investigating the Tuam mother and baby home scandal
that infant skeletons had been found in underground chambers at the
site has led to horrified headlines, not just at home but around the
world.
That's not surprising. The story (not entirely accurate) that the
remains of hundreds of children had been "dumped" in a "sewage pit" by
the nuns who ran the home over several decades was shocking enough to
get international coverage. On Friday night I saw it on the BBC, Sky
News, and American and European TV channels.
