'Today is a small light at the end of a big tunnel' - excavation works begin at Tuam Mother and Baby home

"We never thought this day would come. I see this day as a small light at the end of a big tunnel. There are 9,000 children lost in homes in Ireland and that's only the ones that were examined. So Tuam is the tip of the iceberg, and we do hope that every child's voice is heard, because I think they've been crying for a long time. This is the start of something, so we may not get all the answers, we don't know, but it's the next stage."
