Historian Catherine Corless, who exposed the Tuam Babies scandal, tells Donal O’Keeffe why she feels Tuam and Bessborough need to be excavated, and highlights Pope Francis’ apparent confusion about Tuam.

“It's sad that the Church we looked up to for compassion, and guidance to show us how to live a right life and to follow the path of Our Lord, has turned its back on us,” Catherine Corless said in recent days.
