Galway Bay fm newsroom – The President is commending local historian Catherine Corless for her work in exposing the Tuam babies scandal.
Speaking at an International Womens’ Day reception at Aras an Uachtarain, Michael D Higgins described last week’s revelations of a mass grave at a former mother and baby home in the town as horrifying.
