"With the excavation set to begin, it serves as a reminder of the trauma endured by mothers and children, reflecting a dark chapter in Ireland’s past."
The Tuam mother and baby home, established 100 years ago, is set for excavation this summer after the 2012 discovery of a mass grave containing the remains of 796 infants and children. This event marks a significant moment for Ireland, as it seeks to confront the historical injustices faced by many mothers and their children during the early days of the Irish State. The excavation symbolizes a reckoning with past traumas and the urgent need for national acknowledgment and accountability.
