Mass baby grave in Tuam, Galway: Sisters of Bon Secours nuns 'have no burial home records'

The Sisters of Bon Secours nuns in charge of Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, Co Galway, where the burial of hundreds of babies in a septic tank mass grave has been uncovered have said they no longer hold the burial records.
The nuns, which operated the home said they were shocked and deeply saddened by reports of the burial of 798 dead infants from 1925 to 1961. It was one of 10 similar homes across Ireland - three others which have little angels plots are believed to hold the remains of another 3,200 babies and infants.
