CATHERINE CORLESS, THE local historian who helped uncover the substantial remains at the Tuam mother and baby home through her work appeared on The Late Late Show on RTÉ this evening.
She told the story about how she managed to uncover evidence about the remains of babies at the Tuam home, and how the week following the revelations has been.
She began: “I didn’t really expect such an influx of media. I kept with it, I kept answering people and talking to people. Like back in 2014, I did the same thing again. I just facilitated people. It was just something to get the story out again.
I was hoping and hoping that they would come to the truth. It’s wonderful that the truth has come out. Every scrap of research I had done said that the children were buried on the home grounds.
She talked about how she had noticed children from the home as a child, and later researched the topic in later life.
