    Might not watch this. It is very upsetting what happened to these unfortunate women and their babies in so-called religious homes. Horrible stuff.

    I think it is shameful that the Gardaí aren't interested in investigating this.

    They claimed that when they first looked it was a famine grave.

    Edit, jaysus, Waters and Manseragh on the same panel, a nightmare realised.

    As was said in the Dail today, if these skeletal remains were found in a field somewhere away from a religious order the gardai would be in like a shot and the place cordoned off. It's another failure on the states part NOW.

    How bloody shocked do we have to get in this country FFS.

    If he HAS any wisdom to dispense, he must have acquired it recently or has kept it well hidden until now.:confused:

    Even if it was established that the children were starved there is nobody left alive to prosecute. The whole thing is disgusting.

    Tom McGurk and Martin Mansergh - the polar opposite of a dream team.

    They reckon that a child died every two weeks in Tuam, that is horrific.

    Is this a record for Waters to be on tv for this length of time and say nothing?

    Finding out what actually happened and attempting to identify them is essential.

    Well, I presume that the Gardaí can call in the State Pathologist, it's important that we find out what happened these children.

    Mansergh still has that annoying habit of raising his voice an octave or two when anybody tries to interrupt him.

    Some people could be embarrassed by an investigation, like some of the high flyers that have known about it for the last couple of years, and failed to act till it went public.
