Former Tuam Home residents and their families are looking for answers, but are being left “in the dark” in relation to the investigation into the home, according to Tuam historian Catherine Corless.
An inquiry into the former Mother and Baby Home in the town is currently underway, with two excavations having been carried out on the site to determine whether children reported to have died at the home have been buried there.
The deadline for submissions to the Mother and Baby Home Commission of Investigation looking into the former Bon Secours institution is today, Wednesday 1 March, and Ms Corless, whose research led to the investigation, is encouraging people to contact the Commission.
The body has asked for anyone who lived or worked in the Tuam Home or in any of the 14 Mother and Baby Homes and four County Homes under investigation to contact them.
