Inspectors' 1947 report reveals the extent of abuse at nuns' care home

THE full extent of the horrendous conditions children were forced to live in at the Tuam mother-and-baby home, where up to 300 infants are buried, are revealed in an official inspector's report obtained by the Sunday Independent.

The damning 1947 report, compiled after a visit to the home, paints a picture as grim as the harrowing accounts of starved children that emerged from Romanian orphanages after the fall of Ceausescu in the early 1990s.

It tells how children were suffering from malnutrition and in many instances were pot-bellied – a sign of starvation. The report records children as having wizened limbs, with many described as being 'mentally defective'.

"You can't excuse that no matter what the times were like. The nuns were getting well paid for those children. They were getting a pound a head for each mother and child from the government, which was quite a bit of money at the time. They were self-sufficient, they had their own vegetable gardens which the mothers tended so when you look it that way, the treatment of them can't be accepted," Ms Corless added.

I see you are either incapable of reading the rest of the article or you simply refuse to, I'm posting this for people who would believe what you cited in your post is accurate and representative of the facts listed in the report.

Your repeated posting of the lies told by the criminals in charge of the home at that time in order to cover their asses is at best gross misrepresentation and at worse an absolutely insane and indefensible belief that no abuse actually occurred.
