Anna Corrigan
Anna Corrigan, 70, is a key figure in the ongoing investigation into the Tuam mother-and-baby home scandal, having discovered that her late mother secretly gave birth to two boys there. Her pursuit of the truth has been met with challenges, as she seeks answers about the fate of her brothers, John and William, who were likely buried in Tuam. Corrigan has described the process of seeking justice as 'justice, Irish-style,' highlighting the obfuscation and difficulties faced by families trying to uncover the dark secrets surrounding these homes. In 2023, she expressed relief that excavation efforts at the site are finally underway, though she acknowledges that finding closure may remain elusive.
