Sister of Babies Born in Tuam Mother and Baby Home Gives Notice Over Lack of Criminal Investigation - 18/11/2025

The sister of two infant boys who it is feared died in the Tuam mother and baby home has issued a legal notice to gardaí over what she claims is the force's failure to launch a formal criminal investigation into their deaths. Dubliner Anna Corrigan discovered in December 2012 that her mother Bridget Dolan had given birth to two boys in the former mother and baby home in 1946 and again in 1950. The Office of the Director of Authorised Intervention, Tuam (ODAIT), which is carrying out the exhumation, said a full analysis will be carried out on the infant remains to "estimate age at death". Ms Corrigan said she was “shocked” and “deeply upset” at the news that the infant remains has been found. She has been trying to uncover what happened to her brothers for more than a decade, and she reported the case to gardaí. In recent years, she instructed a solicitor, Kevin Winters, to act on her behalf. Anna Corrigan joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this. Hosted on Acast.
