Tuam babies horror is fake news says Bill Donohue of the Catholic League
He says not to believe the Commission of Investigation, dont believe the Irish government, dont even believe the Catholic Bishops, who have just reacted with shock and shame at the discovery of significant human remains at the former Mother and Baby Home at Tuam, County Galway.
Only Bill Donohue of the Catholic League in New York knows the truth the same kind of "truth" Holocaust deniers might approve of.
He says it is all 'fake news,' nothing to see, no one to be held to account over 800 dead children in a Mother and Baby home in Tuam, County Galway.

Unlike Donohue, the Bishop of Limerick, Brendan Leahy (who was representing Catholic Bishops at the Citizens Assembly in Dublin at the weekend) also believes the Commissions report is true: Were all as shocked about this as everyone else
he said. We hang our heads in shame, but it brings us back to the fact that this is what we want, to promote a culture that really does care for life before and after birth.

What has been discovered in Tuam?
Last Friday, the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes announced that significant quantities of human remains had been found buried under the site of a former institution for unmarried mothers run by the Sisters of the Bon Secours in Tuam, Co Galway. The remains belonged to children aged from about 35 foetal weeks to two to three years. The news was greeted with widespread revulsion. Minister for Children Katherine Zappone said it was very sad and disturbing, while the commission itself said it was shocked by its own discovery. On Sunday, Archbishop of Tuam Dr Michael Neary said he was horrified and saddened by the news.
What is the Commission of Investigation in to Mother and Baby Homes?
The commission, chaired by retired Circuit Court judge Yvonne Murphy, was set up in February 2015 after a Galway-based historian, Catherine Corless, published research that revealed death certificates for 796 children at the Tuam Mother and Baby Home with no indication of their burial places. The commission has been tasked with investigating 14 Mother and Baby Homes, as well as four so-called County Homes, that operated across the State at different times between 1922 to 1998. Under its broad terms of reference, the commission is looking at living conditions, care arrangements, infant mortality, burial arrangements, vaccine trials, illegal adoption, social attitudes and womens pathways in and out of these institutions
