Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
It might be a good idea to write to the Department of Health and Children in Dublin and seek access via a Freedom of Information request to the Institutional and Related Records Project Database. The staff should be able to run a search to see if there is any mention of your grandmother, or at least rule is out as a potential source of information
Best wishes
