The Bon Secours order of nuns have been ordered to hand over files on the 800 babies who died in a the Tuam mother and baby home.

The Sunday Independent reports that the nuns who ran the home will be compelled to attend a Commission of Inquiry set up to investigate the matter.

In the event that the Order or any other witnesses who are called do not assist the inquiry, they will be ordered to do so.

Historian Catherine Corless, who highlighted the deaths of almost 800 children, received the assurance from Minister for Children Dr James Reilly.
