Two friends who later discovered they were half-sisters and both adopted from Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork during the 1980s shared their story on the Tommy Tiernan Show on Saturday night.

Nessa Hurley and Anne O’Connell met online and became friends, but Hurley was shocked by a call from the adoption authorities in October 2022 which revealed O’Connell was her birth sister.
