Cloud formations over #Bessboro #bessborough #motherandbabyhomes

Every time I walk here I think of the suffering those poor women went through. Scandalous.

And we’ve seen this before too. But with #MotherandBabyHomes . It only seems to be a select few who care.

Link to tweet I screenshotted: x.com/orlaryan/statu…

I’ve tweeted many times about being born in #Bessboro , despite a cruel childhood as a result of being adopted from there I felt great comfort at this special gathering.
Please attend if possible.

Coming soon......

1. #Ireland #Dublin #MotherandBabyHomes #MagdalenLaundries

My takeaway from today:

☘️Is any redress scheme in their current forms rigid&immovable? No!
☘️Is #Memorialisation restrained by an Act of Houses of the Oireachtas - Tithe an Oireachtais? No!
☘️Do #Activists have a role? Yes!
☘️Living/Dead havemore2say

Tomorrow in Dáil Éireann the “supports for survivors of residential institutions abuse bill 2024” will be debated at 4.00 pm

☘️Houses of the Oireachtas - Tithe an Oireachtais
☘️ #ReligiousOrders & Memorials

✈️Home!

I’ve managed to get some Irish Legal Research in today and one carving in #TheFourCourts struck me:

“All citizens shall, as human persons, be held equal before the law”

Discuss…..

A lot of work goes into organising an event #MotherAndBabyHomes to recall lost lives on site at the former #Bessboro home. Survivors mingle with families of the lost children comforted by solidarity from the local community.

Thank you Carmel and Team

It's been a cathartic journey, peppered with more revelations & joy

On a previous trip a taxi driver pointed out the extent of the land once owned by the religious order in #HighPark

On my way back to the Airport and driving by, the full extent is seen from the coach - power&money!
