The infants graveyard at Sean Ross Abbey in Roscrea, Tipperary, the site of a mother and baby home operated by the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary from 1930 to 1970
Around 56,000 unmarried mothers and 57,000 children were residents at the homes in total during this period, most of whom had no other choice.The report found evidence of widespread emotional abuse with women often subjected to denigration and derogatory remarks.

A total of about 9,000 children died in the institutions under investigation – about 15% of all the children who were in the institutions. In the early decades most women who were admitted to the institutions were domestic servants or farm workers or they were carrying out unpaid domestic work in their family home.

Such a gruesome sad history.
What lies beneath?
Some people are literally living a few feet above or away from graveyards.
They must pay for their crimes; those nuns! They murdered babies and illegally dumped their bodies in a sewerage container!
Disgraceful...
Pretty bookey that
