Historian Catherine Corless, whose work led to the establishment of the mother and baby homes commission of investigation, has said she is “very, very pleased” with its latest report. She said the fifth interim report of the commission, which was published on Wednesday morning, is “the whole truth”. The report makes a number of findings in relation to the burials of 800 children at the Tuam home, whose past was uncovered and publicised by Ms Corless. Launching the report, Minister for Children Katherine Zappone said there was a belief that people had not provided full information to the commission. “[The commission] effectively believe that there must be people in Tuam that know more about burial arrangements”.
