The woman cited in the article has been discredited as has this story.
No she hasn't - she just won a Human Rights award for it https://www.rte.ie/news/newslens/2017/1026/915386-catherine-corless-tuam-home/ …

Bless Catherine Corless. She is a hero, and more than made up for her childhood prank. An inspiration against ignorance, apathy & injustice.
No words, only tears; and an emotional ganglia that ironically leaves me near numb Sickening heartlessness shown to those women and babies
My God! Heartbreakingly sad. Thank God it is 2017.
Yes. It is so upsetting to even read about. For all the ills in the world today, a lot is a whole lot better.
"Ireland”?! Don’t you slate me or my fucking people for an atrocity the fucking church committed. Correct that fucking tweet.
State, Church & citizens were all complicit. Compassion for those affected - living, and the families of the dead - is needed, not apologia.
All in the shadow of the hands of the church. Can’t blame people for living in a fear they were tortured into by women clad in black.
Catholicism is to blame for some of the most dismal & terrible moments in our collective history. Even a nice Pope cannot erase the horrors.
This is why I don't believe in organised Religion and this is why people in my demographic in Ireland are increasingly agnostic or atheist
It certainly is not. You however certainly are.
