A survivor of the Tuam mother and baby home says survivors deserve a better report than that presented in January by the Irish Examiner. “I want a better report than the one that’s out there, one that’s honest and true, one that would say how badly we were treated,” Tuam home survivor Rose McKinney has told the Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation. Both of Rose’s babies were given up for adoption, something which she says was for the best, but nonetheless “destroyed” her. She says the revelation that 796 children are missing in Tuam, some buried in a disused sewerage system, horrified her. "People are on our side now, so don’t let the dictators get the better of you."
