A septic tank is NEVER SUITABLE FOR BURIAL OF ANY HUMAN

Privately bank all the dna from known survivors now. Eventually this will all come into the light. Nothing can hide forever. I hope these families get relief in this life or the next.

National disgrace! Government Cover up that needs to be exposed!

How anyone can still be part of the Catholic Church in anyway is beyond me , the atrocities this evil has caused worldwide is disgusting this church needs denounced
Austin Moore
Why are those documents locked up the should be released now and given to those who tell the truth

I pass through Tuam ,from Dublin to Galway, many times, never realised what we drove through. My the little angels rest on peace.
Paul Hobson
The nuns and the Catholic Church has an awful lot of questions to answer about Tuam and other mother and baby homes they ran. Also the amount of illegal baby selling to rich couples in Ireland and other countries needs to be addressed by the Irish government!

If this wasn’t the Catholic Church, they would be investigating for… racketeering, human trafficking, at best neglect or at worst serial murder. ?????

Many Blessings Appreciate Sharing
Mr. Hoss
And now all the files are locked up for 30 more years, disgrace on our government!!

I am going to have to do a lot of research on this. I know that I have ancestral history that fit into this time frame, though I have nothing really specific. I will have to look through the names again, but as many have said that only the women were punished for such things, and the fathers were basically given a free pass. I have more information from my male relatives than I do of the female ones. I hope to be doing much more research very soon though I expect most will be on my paternal side. I will definitely have to look further into this.

No more understanding to be done. It is time for the Irish state, the Vatican the orders of nuns and brothers to be sued et condemned severely by the courts. and pay compensation for the work done but not paid and the years wasted ,incarcerated though blameless and innocents.

dig up the sit for heavens sake

the nuns likely held grudges against the unmarried mothers…

This is the result when a State is not clearly and absolutely secular. People can have their faith but crimes like this are only possible when the State and the popular faith are associated.

That poor man looking for his sister, ” I am hoping she was sold”. Instead of being buried in a septic tank.. A religious order ?????
Eamonn Murphy
Irish government investigation summary: “Ireland was a cold harsh environment for many, probably the majority, of its residents during the earlier half of the period under remit. It was especially cold and harsh for women. All women suffered serious discrimination. Women who gave birth outside marriage were subject to particularly harsh treatment. Responsibility for that harsh treatment rests mainly with the fathers of their children and their own immediate families. It was supported by, contributed to, and condoned by, the institutions of the State and the Churches. However, it must be acknowledged that the institutions under investigation provided a refuge – a harsh refuge in some cases – when the families provided no refuge at all”.
Karen James
There is absolutely no reason they could possibly have not to open up those septic tanks and take those children’s remains out to give them a proper burial and put those family’s minds at peace, if it wasn’t enough of a crime that these people did with what they did to these people in the first place how dare they continue this horrible travesty by refusing to bring these children out from a septic tank for God’s sake. Can this even be happening in this time period. Is this country still living in the dark ages. Wake up for God’s sake!!!

Christopher Hitchens was correct in his assertions recorded in his book, “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything”. Abuse by adherents to Catholicism is systemic within the Church, as proven by its horrific number of accusations laid against her pedophilic clergy. Were the prayers of the abused ever answered in the form of immediate intercession by the Biblical God? No way! It’s why more and more people are turning away from the utter nonsense that society labels ‘religion’. Its toxicity in various guises has poisoned humanity for too long and if God does exist then I for one have no desire to worship him or bestow my respect!
Doctor Shawzy
why were so many young women forced into becoming nuns…we should be told…were they the ugly ones? we should be told…

Babies were not buried in and around an old septic tank as stated. They were buried in a crypt which had shelving on its sides. Septic tanks do not have shelving. Also the local council advertised tenders for coffins on at least 19 occasions and many locals remember coffins being built for the babies that died. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy3s6h-XBbI

Any commission that does not have transparent community oversight is of no benefit to community. Ireland has been built on mysogony and cruelty. There is no change in the public service. The good people have a battle on their hands because corruption is protected
