“Shocking” was the word used by the Mother and Baby Homes Commission
and Children’s Minister Katherine Zappone in reacting to the discovery
of “significant quantities” of human remains at Tuam.
It’s a word that crops up again and again in relation to the story of Ireland’s mother and baby home system. That very word was used in an unpublished internal HSE report in 2012 to describe the “wholly epidemic” levels of child death in Cork’s Bessborough Mother and Baby Home — 472 infants and 10 women in a 19-year period.
