Irish justice minister Alan Shatter
is considering calls for an investigation of the former Protestant-run
Bethany Home in Dublin. Up to 219 children born at the mother and baby home between 1922 and 1949 died. In 2010, 40 infants from the home were discovered in unmarked graves in the nearby Mount Jerome cemetery.
Former residents have accused the government of religious discrimination. They are angry that they have been excluded from an investigation into allegations of abuse at the Catholic-run Magdalen mother and baby laundries.
