This June 7, 2014 file photo shows the site of a mass grave for children who died at the Mother and Baby Home, in Tuam, Ireland. “This is very sad and disturbing news,” Katherine Zappone, Ireland’s minister for children and youth affairs, said in a statement. Without means to support themselves, women by the hundreds wound up at the Home, Corless told The Post in 2014. 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. “This could have gone either way,” Corless told the Irish Mirror.
