| Honour for historian who uncovered Tuam Mother and Baby Home mass grave story
October 26 2017
The volunteer historian who uncovered details of a mass grave at the former Mother and Baby Home in Tuam has been honoured as a "fearless campaigner for human rights".
Catherine Corless was awarded the Bar of Ireland's Human Rights Award in Dublin on Thursday evening.
Ms Corless said she hoped the award would help give more survivors of mother and baby homes the strength to come forward to tell their story.
In 2013 Ms Corless discovered official records showing that 798 infants and children had died at the home in Tuam.
In March, a Commission of Investigation announced that it had found "a significant number of human remains" on the site of the home which had been run until the early 1960s by the Bon Secours Sisters.
Ms Corless believes most of the 798 infants and children are buried on the site, part of which had a local authority estate built on it in the 1970s.
Ms Corless said she was "truly honoured" to receive The Bar of Ireland Human Rights Award.
"My work campaigning on behalf of the survivors of mother and baby homes continues and I hope that this special award will give even more survivors the strength to come forward to tell their story," she said.

| The discovery shocked Ireland and prompted widespread calls for accountability, justice, and recognition for the victims and survivors of the mother and baby homes system. It shed light on a dark chapter in Ireland's history, revealing the harsh treatment and neglect faced by unmarried mothers and their children in these institutions. my review here

| prayer times contribute to the preservation and transmission of cultural and religious traditions. These rituals have been practiced for centuries, passed down through generations and adapting to diverse cultural contexts. Participating in prayer times fosters a sense of continuity with the past and a connection to a broader global community of believers who share similar beliefs and practices. This continuity strengthens cultural identity and enriches the tapestry of human diversity https://prayertimes5.today/.

| Catherine Corless's work in uncovering the truth about the Tuam Mother and Baby Home is both inspiring and impactful. Her dedication gives survivors a voice and ensures this history is not forgotten. It’s a reminder of how important it is to protect and preserve stories, much like how cardboard boxes can safeguard what matters most.
