Remains of 22 infants discovered at former Tuam Mother and Baby Home site in Ireland

Excavations at the former Tuam Mother and Baby Home have uncovered the remains of 22 infants, adding to the ongoing investigation into the facility's high mortality rates between 1925 and 1961. The discovery follows a 2014 report identifying 796 death certificates for children at the site with no corresponding burial records. The findings are part of a broader state-led effort to address historical institutional abuse in Ireland.
