Thread Name: BS: Dead babies and Tuam Bon Secours nuns
Subject: RE: BS: Dead babies and Tuam Bon Secours nuns
Joe, the situation is developing and in a fluent state, Jim's contribution is perfectly relevant when taken in the context of the government inquire that is being set up after the Tuam revelations. This inquiry will cover all mother and baby homes and as such is perfectly relevant to this thread.

When you make a case this may well have been orderly burials in a proper concrete vault, re-read the Irish Times piece and pay attention to the eye witness account from one of the men who discovered the burial site in 1975, when playing there as a boy :

"There were skeletons thrown in there. They were all this way and that way. They weren't wrapped in anything, and there were no coffins,"

Which is at least an indication the situation is not that of an orderly burial vault with coffins 'placed' there.
