He later talks to historian Catherine Corless as NUI Galway hosts an event to mark “Archiving Personal Histories” of the Tuam Mother and Baby Home. The University hosted a public event with the members of the Tuam Home Survivors Network, featuring a range of speakers, including historian Catherine Corless, Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley of the Department of History, NUI Galway and Irish Examiner reporter Conall Ó Fátharta. The oral histories will be housed in the James Hardiman Library.
