Ireland Excavates Tuam Mother and Baby Home Mass Grave
Ireland has initiated excavation work at the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home site in Tuam, County Galway.
Discovery of Infant Remains
The excavation follows the discovery of the remains of 796 infants at the site.
Purpose of the Excavation
The primary goal of the excavation is to provide closure for the families affected and to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths that occurred at the Church-run institution. This initiative comes after persistent campaigning by survivors and families seeking answers.
Dignity and Respect
A key priority is to treat the remains with the utmost dignity and respect throughout the process. The excavation also aims to address the many unanswered questions surrounding the history and operations of the home.
