The Archbishop of Dublin called on the Irish government to establish a fully-fledged independent inquiry into secret graveyards for infants and mothers consigned to nursing homes run by the Roman Catholic church in the last century.
Dr Diarmuid Martin, the second-highest ranking prelate in the country, said only an independent commission of investigation with judicial powers could address public concerns in the wake of the discovery of a mass grave of infants and children found in the grounds of a convent run by the Bon Secours order of nuns in Tuam, Co Galway last week.
The Government has established a preliminary inter-departmental official inquiry to set the scope of a more thorough investigation.
“The indications are that if something happened in Tuam it probably happened in other mother-and-baby homes around the country,” Archbishop Martin told state radio. “That’s why I believe we need a full-bodied investigation.”
