The Child and Family Agency Tusla has confirmed that all records it has about the mother and baby home in Tuam, Co Galway, have been given to the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes.
Last week, the Commission confirmed that significant quantities of human remains had been found in an underground structure on the former site of the home.
The Bon Secours order operated the facility in Tuam from 1925 until 1961. When the home closed, all records relating to its operation were given to Galway County Council.
Over the last 50 years, the records have been held at various stages by the council, the Western Health Board, the Health Service Executive and most recently, Tusla.
