'If there's bodies just leave them there'

The historian who spearheaded the campaign to discover the fate of 800 children who died at a former Catholic home for unmarried mothers and their children in Ireland was told 'just leave them there'. 
Catherine Corless, 62, discovered there were 798 death certificates for children at the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway, but only one burial certificate.
