Child’s Witness of Infant Graves | Cork News
Description
An elderly Irishman, Pat Mulcahy, has broken his silence after decades, revealing a chilling childhood memory from the 1940s: he and a friend discovered an open grave at the Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork, where they saw what they thought were dolls—now confirmed to be the decaying bodies of infants. Though he first shared this with investigators in 2019, his official statement won’t be released until 2051, but he’s now speaking out publicly, adding to a growing chorus of survivors who witnessed similar horrors. His testimony, aligned with the peak of infant deaths at Bessborough between 1922 and 1945, underscores the grim mystery surrounding the burial sites of countless children—and the enduring trauma left behind.
