It was front page news around the world when a mass grave was
discovered at a Mother and Baby Home in Ireland. The remains of
almost 800 babies were found. But research by Paul Redmond showed
that this was only "the tip of the iceberg". He collected
evidence of high death rates at homes for illegitimate children
across Ireland and also claimed the catholic nuns who ran them
were trading in adoptions; being paid to send children to the
United States for adoption often against the mother's wishes and
sometimes without her knowledge. He was born in one of those
homes and adopted before he was a month old. Now he feels he has
a duty to expose what went on.
