I had never  heard of this so thanks for the heads up. Not sure why the WP has decided to repost a 2 year old story. Maybe they felt it just needed more publicity. Probably valid since I'd never heard of it.  

Still, your claim of murder or manslaughter doesn't seem to be supported by any of the evidence. What this seems to be is an undocumented mass grave, accumulated over almost 40 years. While a horrific story of the cover up of about 800 deaths, where do you see murder or manslaughter claimed by anyone other than yourself?

..."confirmed" in the headline?  Two years ago it was suspicion; now a mass grave has been found and the suspicion has been "confirmed."

Did you read the part of the article where it said that two babies per week died from "malnutrition and neglect?"  (The deaths didn't occur during the Potato Famine).  That, my friend, is manslaughter and if the requisite mens rea was present it could rise to the level of murder.

just more fake news,,

cuz some OTHER twisted fucks do it too

Stalin and Mao did say that Hitler practiced genocide, so we get to do it too!

you guys are always looking to justify killing babies

to prove your point, you kill them right before they are born - where's the fun if the little girls don't feel the pain!

yeah, you're still vile, without souls

Where in the article is there anyone claiming that abortions where performed or that anyone deliberately killed these children/fetuses?  What where the birth survival rates at the time?  

How does this compare to the millions aborted in the states over the last few decades?  Why are you even comparing the two?

Why not compare it to the mass graves in the middle east?

Why not compare it to the Nazi's? Stalin? Pol Pot? etc...

Corless’s research found that infant mortality at the home in Tuam was particularly high. Records for that home show that babies died at the rate of two per week from malnutrition and neglect, and from diseases such as measles and gastroenteritis, Corless told the Post in 2014.

What does particularly high mean?

What you've done is attacked a sect of the Catholic Church.  To what end?   To prove that they did evil things over the years? I'm catholic and I agree that they did.

Using morality from present times, from a far different society and applying it to a time in the past with a different belief system is dubious at best.  

Times where tough 80-100 years ago in Ireland and in much of the world. Single women pregnant out of wedlock where treated like shit.  I agree.

Are you suggesting that abortion is a better answer?  

Maybe we should have a national campaign to get more women to swallow/spit...  

I'm not disputing the infant and child mortality was high but if you go to the earlier quotes of Corless, the investigator, she actually said that it was 2 per week during periods of epidemics and the average rate was slightly less than 2 per month. And there were several other causes of death give by the modern investigator than neglect and malnutrition. If they want to tell a more believable story they should get their facts correct and not grossly exaggerate them.  

Confirmed now? Are you claiming 800 human remains found by the 2 boys in 2014 was never confirmed until now? Right.

The 2 per week was during periods of local epidemic.

One thing I couldn't find is what was the average population so percentages could be calculated.
