Tuam women on RTE TV documentary

HISTORIAN Catherine Corless and the late Julia Carter Devaney will feature in a new RTE One TV documentary series called No Country for Women which will be broadcast next Tuesday and Wednesday nights, June 19 and 20 at 21:35 on RTE One, just after the Nine o'clock News.

Catherine Corless first brought the story of the Tuam Babies to light, and Julia Carter Devaney’s taped memories of her childhood and working life in the Mother and Baby Home gave a unique insight into how it was run.
