An enquiry into the Mother & baby homes in Ireland found that about 9,000 babies died, mainly from resoiratory problems & stomach flu.

This scandal has been going on for years, as time goes by there are more and more revelations about the atrocities committed there as more information turns up.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
