This is Bridget Dolan, her two children were taken away by the nuns at the Tuam mother and baby home and were never seen again because she was an "unmarried mother" #MyNamesIsBridget #tuambabies #metoo

10 years ago today the @MailOnline picked up my story on the #tuambabies #massgrave that barely got a mention by any politician here and it made international headlines. https://t.co/rtSXoWDHbF @APSARA1956 @AnnetteMckay15 but the babies remain in the septic tank @ThomasGaravan

Ten years 💔

Ten years ago today I followed up our Tuam babies mass grave exclusive with the story of @APSARA1956’s missing aunt Mollie who died in Loughrea Industrial school at 13 but has no grave. I also wrote Tuam is “tip of the iceberg”. Sadly, nothing changed.

Ten years today #tuambabies

[Alison O’Reilly @AlisonMaryORE]

Ten years today since I wrote about the mass grave of 800 babies in a septic tank in Tuam. Proud to have exposed this scandal. Ashamed that the babies remain in that shit hole.

#tuambabies
Just a quick update on what's happening at the Tuam Pit where 796+ children still lie dumped. NOTHING
A lot of organisation by the CEO, a Hugh task but to date nothing happening on the ground. Not one shovel, not one baby REMOVED. And still we wait. 💔
