The Home Babies: The State
A leaked document implied the State knew more than it admitted about illegal adoptions
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 mother and baby homes across Ireland.
In episode nine Becky tries to find out how much the state knew about what happened to the children who were born in the home.
