The Home Babies: Inside the home

First hand accounts of the harsh life inside one of Ireland's mother and baby homes

Becky Milligan continues her series about a former home for unmarried mothers in Tuam, in the West of Ireland, and the work of amateur historian Catherine Corless.

Catherine's discoveries prompted the Irish Government to begin an investigation into the institutions.

In this fifth episode Becky takes us inside the old home when it was up and running between 1925 and 1961 and hears from previous residents.
