Liam Neeson was in his home in upstate New York in late 2017 when he was sent a link to a New York Times article about a shameful episode in Ireland’s history.
Almost a decade on and he tells Variety he’s “still coming to terms with my reaction to it.”
The piece, written by Dan Barry, laid bare the shocking revelations from a Catholic home for mothers and babies in County Galway on Ireland’s West Coast, where over the course of several decades until the early 1960s almost 800 infants and children had been buried in unmarked graves, unceremoniously dumped in a sewage tank and forgotten about.
