<div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">We are concerned that evidence suggests that the mortality rate for these children was significantly higher than the national rate of infant mortality at the time. And we are shocked at reliable, contemporaneous accounts that the children were malnourished and seemingly uncared-for, when the Irish State was paying the Bon Secours to look after them. <br>
<br>We request that the investigation begin at the earliest possible date and that the final report is made public, in full, when it is complete.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">We also request that any individual or organization which fails to co-operate fully, and in a timely fashion, with the investigation should be charged with the obstruction of justice.<br>
