Excavation Begins at Suspected Mass Grave of Nearly 800 Children in Ireland
Investigators seek to uncover remains at former mother and baby home in Tuam
Excavations have begun at the site of a former church-run mother and baby home in Tuam, Ireland, where it is believed the remains of up to 800 infants and young children were secretly buried in a mass grave.
The investigation aims to uncover evidence of long-suspected neglect and abuse in institutions that operated for decades, as families and campaigners demand answers and accountability for the mistreatment of unmarried mothers and their children.
