Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin said the report described “a dark, difficult and shameful chapter of very recent Irish history” and a deeply misogynistic culture in Ireland.
Unmarried mothers in Ireland faced a “brutally misogynistic culture” for decades, a minister has said after the publication of a report into the deaths of 9,000 children and babies
Thousands of children have died in church-run homes for unmarried women and their babies during the 20th century in Ireland, a report published by an independent commission on Tuesday said.
“About 9,000 children died in the institutions under investigation approximately 15% of all the children who were in the institutions,” said a final report of an inquiry into the mother-and-baby homes.
