Families and survivors of the Tuam Mother and Baby Home will tomorrow meet with the excavation team and visit the edge of the site.
A team of international experts is being brought in to assist in the project, with main excavation works to begin next week.

Today was a briefing day for media - and you can hear a full report from Sarah Slevin below.
