The network will be launched by local historian Catherine Corless at the Corralea Court Hotel tomorrow afternoon at 3.30.

Chairman Peter Mulryan is a survivor of the home - and he's also desperately seeking answers on his sister, who fate is unknown:

Secretary Breeda Murphy says the network is not just about the former home in Tuam.

And we'll be speaking to Peter and Breeda on FYI Galway from 5 this evening.
