She was forced to give up a baby boy when she 18 years-old. Councillor Wadding has organised a vigil from 6 o'clock this evening on Wexford's Quay front in remembrance of the mother and babies at the Bon Secours home in Tuam. The keynote speaker will be Maureen O'Sullivan a former resident of the Magdaline Laundry in New Ross.
