Tuam historian to be honoured with Human Rights Award

The historian who exposed the Tuam Mother and Babies home scandal is to be honoured.

Historian Catherine Corless is to be given the Bar of Ireland's Human Rights Award.

The body says it's in recognition of her tireless work.

Ms Corless investigations have led to a commission of inquiry into the burial of infants and children at the site.
