“A mass grave containing the remains of babies and young children
has been discovered at a former Catholic orphanage in Ireland,
government-appointed investigators announced Friday in a finding that
offered the first conclusive proof following a historian's efforts to
trace the fates of nearly 800 children who perished there.”
“A great many people are always asking what is the good of
keeping these children alive? I quite agree that it would be a great
deal kinder to strangle these children at birth than to put them out to
nurse.” -- Doctor Ella Webb, June 18, 1924, speaking about illegitimate children in care in Ireland at the time.
