New evidence that Irish children were murdered « The Ragged Wagon

New evidence that Irish children were murdered « The Ragged Wagon: The cemeteries have been renovated, mostly as ultra-twee “memorial gardens”.

They, at least, have a proper Christian burial.?

It recommended the setting up of a judicial council on a statutory basis, providing for the representation, education and training of judges as well as a disciplinary mechanism.
