When a mass grave containing remains of almost 800 babies was discovered at a Mother and Baby home in Ireland, the story made front page news. Sarah Montague speaks to Paul Redmond, whose research shows that this was only the 'tip of the iceberg'.

He collected evidence of high death rates at homes for illegitimate children across Ireland, and also claimed the Catholic nuns who ran them were trading in adoptions, being paid to send children to the United States, often against the mother's wishes and sometimes without her knowledge. Redmond was born in one of those homes and adopted before he was a month old. Now he feels he has a duty to expose what went on.
