The whole story isn't really known yet

Well, true. But this is what we know:

1. The person originating the story, Catherine Corless, denies making any references to a septic tank and never used verbiage like "dump the bodies".
2. Other locals prayed at and decorated the graves for years, and apparently did not find anything shocking about the mass graves apart from the fact that it is, well, a grave.
3. The shocking aspect of the story comes specifically and singly from the idea that someone found a septic tank an appropriate burial method. Remove that, and all you have is a mass grave in a country where misery was common, properly cared for by the locals.

In short, we don't know much but that the shocker of dead children dumped in septic tanks is a fabrication.

Thank you. There’s more that’s known flagrant fabrication now, but those are the principal points.
