Women share Mother and Baby Home stories

TWO Donegal women born in Mother and Baby Homes will tell their stories in a special broadcast on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta.

Ann Uí Chnáimhsí from Gaoth Dobhair and Patricia Herald from Loch an Iúir feature in a special episode of Barrscéalta titled Cé Mé Féin?, airing on Tuesday, April 7.

The women began trying to establish their identity in early adulthood and to come to terms with the fact that they did not know who they were or where they had come from.

Speaking on the programme, they reflect on their personal journeys and the challenges they faced in uncovering their backgrounds.

The episode, hosted by Michelle Nic Grianna, will explore their search for identity and belonging.

Cé Mé Féin? will be broadcast at 11am on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta.
