Dr Sutherland’s 1955 visit to the Mother and Baby Home at Tuam and the Magdalene Laundry at Galway.
In 1955, Dr. Halliday Sutherland visited the Mother and Baby Home at Tuam and the Magdalene Laundry at Galway. He wrote about these visits in Irish Journey (1956).
In order to obtain permission to visit the Magdalene Laundry at Galway, Dr. Sutherland agreed that his account would be vetted by the Mother Superior of the Galway Laundry. Accordingly, the account published in Irish Journey was censored.
In 2013, 57 years after the publication of Irish Journey, the uncensored draft was found in a suitcase in Britain. The story of how the book came to be censored and the rediscovery of the manuscript is told here.
