Auf dem Gelände eines früheren katholischen Heims für unverheiratete Mütter in der irischen Stadt Tuam sollen Grabungen in den kommenden zwei Jahren Klarheit über das Schicksal von 796 Säuglingen und Kleinkindern bringen.

Die am Montag begonnene Suche findet statt, nachdem bei Probegrabungen sterbliche Überreste zahlreicher Babys in einem stillgelegten unterirdischen Abwassertank auf dem Heimgelände in der Stadt Tuam entdeckt worden waren.

Den Anstoß für die Ausgrabungen, an denen Spezialisten aus Kolumbien, Spanien, den USA, Kanada und Großbritannien teilnehmen, gab die Hobby-Historikerin Catherine Corless. Sie hatte bereits im Jahr 2014 Hinweise darauf vorgelegt, dass in dem katholischen Mutter-Kind-Heim „St. Mary’s“ in Tuam zwischen 1925 und seiner Schließung 1961 insgesamt 796 Kinder gestorben waren.

Bei den jetzt begonnenen Ausgrabungen in Tuam sollen die sterblichen Überreste geborgen, untersucht, nach Möglichkeit identifiziert und später in würdigem Rahmen bestattet werden. Die Ermittler sind derzeit dabei, DNA-Vergleichsmaterial von lebenden Verwandten zu sammeln.

Amateurhistorikerin Corless, die den Anstoß für die Grabungen gab, hofft auf einen würdigen Abschluss. „Es war ein harter Kampf. Als ich anfing, wollte mir niemand zuhören. Ich habe gebettelt: ‚Holt diese Babys aus dem Abwassersystem und gebt ihnen das anständige christliche Begräbnis, das ihnen verwehrt wurde‘“, sagte sie der Nachrichtenagentur AFP im Mai. „Jetzt werden wir das Unrecht endlich...

St. Mary’s Cathedral is a very historic building. It is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Tuam, Limerick and Killaloe in the Church of Ireland.
