Matron Beryl Grant was at the helm of #NgalaParenting #motherandbabyhome for 20 yrs
Grant was actively involved in #forcedadoption practices; more than 2000 mothers & newborns.
Ngala triple dipped $
Mothers worked for free
paid for their accommodation
& their baby’s stay….
I asked Minister O’Gorman repeatedly to explain why he is excluding nearly 30,000 survivors from #motherandbabyhome compensation scheme. He didn’t give me an answer.
Was 15 when I found out I was pregnant and 15 when I had my eldest daughter in 1991, I concealed my pregnancy until I was 24 weeks pregnant because I was terrified of ending up in a #motherandbabyhome , the last #magdalenlaundry closed in 1996, the fear was real.
🤱Optimum Nutrition -
Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for most #babies . As the baby grows, the mother’s breast milk will change to meet her baby’s nutritional needs.

I put on record some stories of #MotherAndBabyHome survivors because I think they need to have their stories told.
Exclusion in the current redress scheme disregards the long-term impact of being forcibly separated from family and losing one's identity for 24,000 people!
The Government Minister,s who have pretended to know what the ordinary people are going through
Will soon find out come election #MotherAndBabyHome
#Carers The ballot box will be your executioner

In the absence of graves help us preserve the grounds of #Bessborough #MotherAndBabyHome where 923 children & 31 women died. They deserve to be remembered & honoured. Their monument should NOT be appartment blocks. #BessboroMissing

#mothersday2024
Just want to remember my mom today. A woman who was a “secondary victim” of the #MotherandBabyHome & #MagdalenLaundry system at a time when there was no support
She delivered so much love, fun & support but carried a terrible burden
Remembered with Love
#Happyinternationalwomenday to all the female TDs who voted seal #motherandbabyhome survivor records AND deny 24,000 of them a single cent in compensation.
Hope yis have a great day.
