    The revelation has sparked calls for an investigation and renewed questions about the treatment of unmarried mothers and their children by the Catholic Church and institutions associated with it.


    "Many of the revelations are deeply disturbing and a shocking reminder of a darker past in Ireland when our children were not cherished as they should have been," he said.


    "The news that the remains of some 800 babies were found on convent grounds in Tuam has shocked citizens," said party leader Gerry Adams in an online statement.
    "This case warrants an immediate full public inquiry into the neglect and maltreatment which caused the deaths of these children.
    "Unfortunately, this case is really just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the treatment of women and children in mother and baby homes."

    I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.

    Of course Gerry Adams would be an expert on burying people in unmarked graves...
