Tuam Scandal Is Tip of the Iceberg

Dan Barry's "The Lost Children of Tuam," published in the New York Times,  draws a searing portrait of the Irish society in which the Tuam Baby Home once operated, as well as the one in which Catherine Corless now fights to dignify infant remains interred on its grounds. Ireland seems no closer to the truth of what happened to these and other children born to the nation's institutional care system, contends Professor James Smith in an op-ed for IrishCentral.
