On Tues 27th May 2014, Mark spoke to Catherine Corless about the former
childrens home run by the Bon Secours nuns in Tuam, Co Galway.
Catherine's research has found that in a period of just 36 years from
1925 to 1961, at least 796 babies were buried there in a pit, their
identities unmarked. 'The Home' received unmarried mothers.
Catherine is
campaigning to have the location of the mass grave marked properly with
all the childrens names. Many of them died from conditions as curable
as gastroenteritis, measles and malnutrition. Listen again to this
remarkable campaigner.
