My point was a general one - there are now reports of hundreds of children in care without having been discovered
This from the link you have been given
More than 7,000 babies and children died in Ireland's mother and baby homes during the last century, new documents reveal.
But the real figure is likely to be much higher In some cases, babies who survived only a few hours were wrongly registered as stillborns to avoid registering the birth and the death.
"There were also at least 77 confirmed Stillbirths in Castlepollard above and beyond the 200 registered deaths. There will be hundreds of unregistered Stillbirths discovered in Tuam too above and beyond the 800 registered deaths.
This from an organisation researching the deaths
"Irregular burials and unmarked graves
We have consistently maintained that irregular, unregistered and unmarked burials were a hallmark of the institutional care system in 20th century Ireland, and we stress that Tuam is not an isolated case. Thus far we are aware that there may be similar unmarked graves at the sites of institutions run by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary at Bessborough, Sean Ross Abbey and Castlepollard. Indeed, we are aware of over 180 institutions, agencies and individuals who were involved with Ireland's unmarried mothers and their children. Little is known of the conditions and practices – including burial practices and grave locations – of these institutions, most of which are not on the Commission's Terms of Reference. In addition, Conall O'Fatharta of the Irish Examiner has reported that 353 infants died at the Bessborough Mother and Baby Home between 1938 and 1944, and that the official death registrations and nuns' own records of deaths do not tally (with 80 fewer deaths recorded on the institution's books). A report supplied by the HSE to the McAleese Committee in 2012 (originally published by Conall O'Fatharta) expressed concerns that death records may have been falsified at Bessborough in order to facilitate 'clandestine adoption arrangements'."
THat from March, this year
It has already been established that bodies found aaaat Tuam were unregistered -
The Irish Minister for children has stated publicly that many of these deaths were not registerd
Why on earth do you defend these obscene atrocities - even after the Church has already admitted them
What kind of 'Christian' are you - what kind of 'human being' does that?
