The latest update in the ongoing search in Tuam, County Galway, brings the total number of infant remains found, so far, to 69. The dig was commissioned by the Irish government, following widespread shock over revelations that babies and young children had been buried in a mass grave. The scandal came to light in 2014 when an amateur historian, Catherine Corless, revealed 796 children died as residents of the home, but had no burial records.
