Tuam: More infant remains found at old home
Excavations at the former mother-and-baby home in Tuam, Ireland, have uncovered an additional eight sets of infant remains, bringing the total to 77. The site, operated from 1925 to 1961, has revealed evidence of possible additional graves and an underground vault linked to a historical wastewater system. The Irish government is conducting the excavation, with efforts including DNA sampling to identify bodies, following acknowledgment of disrespectful burial practices by the religious order that ran the institution. The work is ongoing, expected to continue until 2027.
