The remains of a significant number of babies and infants found at
the site of a former mother and baby home at Tuam is one further example
— and not the last, I suspect — of the systemic abuse that occurred in
the archipelago of institutions that existed in post-independence
Ireland.
The abuse in all its forms is, of course, horrific, terrifying and shameful. It begs so many questions. How, for example, could it occur in institutions which are meant to espouse Christian values such as kindness, charity, love for thy neighbour, and good will?
