Mass grave ‘filled to the brim with tiny bones and skulls’ shows how we cherish children
The bodies of 800 “illegitimate” children,
ranging in age from nine years to two days, have been uncovered in
Tuam. But do people care any more now than they did then?
“CHERISH ALL THE children equally” is a defining Irish shibboleth,
enshrined in the Proclamation of Independence. It is one of our highest
aspirations and, like most of the things we Irish hold dearest, it is
build on a solid foundation of utter hypocrisy.
