A significant amount of remains found in the sewers of a former church-run home for unmarried mothers in Ireland have been confirmed as human.
The remains, found in a disused sewer in the town of Tuam in western Ireland, are said to range from newborns to three-year-old toddlers.
The revelation follows decades of rumours and suspicion that hundreds of infants were buried in a mass grave at the site.
