 TUAM, IRELAND - JUNE 16: Workers survey the site of the former Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home on June 16, 2025 in Tuam, Ireland. From 1925 to 1961, hundreds of children died at the St Mary's Mother and Baby home, a maternity home for unmarried mothers and their children, in Tuam, County Galway. Run by the Bon Secours order of Catholic nuns, this type of home was common across Ireland for decades. Test excavations at the site took place in 2016 and 2017, and a mass burial site was found in a former sewage tank containing the remains of 796 babies and toddlers, ranging in age from 35 foetal weeks to two to three years.
