The Bar of Ireland has announced that Tuam amateur historian Catherine Corless will receive its Human Rights Award for 2017. The association of barristers says the award is "in recognition of
her tireless work in relation to the Tuam Mother and Baby Home".
In 2014, Catherine published research revealing that hundreds of babies & toddlers had been buried in unmarked graves at the Tuam Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home. The home operated between 1925 and 1961 in the Co Galway town.
