Some 15% of children who passed through doors of mother and baby homes died 

The infants' graveyard at Seán Ross Abbey in Roscrea, Tipperary, a mother and baby home operated by the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary from 1930 to 1970.

The commission of investigation found around 9,000 children died in mother and baby homes —about 15% of all the children who passed through their doors.

The report says the very high mortality rates in homes in general were known to local and national authorities at the time and were recorded in official publications.
