It was not until her fifties that “only child” Anna Corrigan discovered she actually had two older brothers she never knew – and could never know.
Both boys had died as infants at St Mary’s Mother and Baby Home in the west of Ireland, and became two of an estimated 796 babies secretly buried in a septic tank beneath the site.
Earlier this week speaking at the grounds of the demolished home in Tuam, which later became a housing estate, Anna, 68, read out a letter she had written to her late mother Bridget in 2017.
Anna spoke to us this morning on The Agenda.
We also spoke to Alison O’Reilly from The Irish Examiner to get all the latest on the exhumation.
