Ann O'Gorman, has just filed a Garda missing person report for her daughter Evelyn, for whom she's searched for 47 years. The Limerick woman was in Bessborough and St Patrick's institutions for unwed mothers. She gave birth to Evelyn on 24th July 1971, but still doesn't know if her daughter is alive or dead. Evelyn's official birth and death certificates say she was born on 24 June 1972, among other anomalies.
Fintan Dunne joined Anne and her supporters Anna Corrigan, Catherine Coffey O'Brien and Shelia O'Byrne as they turn to the law for answers.
Survivors are very disillusioned about the progress of Irish authorities' investigation into the treatment of such women and the corrupted historical adoption systems.
