Episode 96 - The Tuam 796
Manage episode 234994401 series 2139076
In 1975, two little boys, Frannie and Barry were playing on the site of an old Mother and Baby home in Tuam, County Galway, when they discovered a pit full of bones.
Later that same year, Mary Moriarty fell into a tunnel in the same spot, where she saw piles little bundles laid on top of each other like steps.
It would take the tireless research of Catherine Coreless to uncover the grim reality of what they actually saw. Catherine's discovery would shake Ireland and shed light on the Catholic Church's not so secret past.
