Rod Baker hopes that a new pro bono
initiative supporting those affected by the Irish Mother and Baby Homes
will allow for a comprehensive investigation of a painful chapter in the
country's history.
For many people, it was the hit film Philomena that brought the Irish Mother and Baby Homes to their attention. However, it was the discovery of the bodies of hundreds of babies in a septic tank at the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway, which last year prompted the Irish government to establish a Commission of Investigation into the operation of the Mother and Baby Homes.
