There was another protest in Dublin today you sadly won’t hear about now. A protest held safely about church-state abuse of women & children. It’s an issue those behind the other protest will never feature as the far right agree with squashing women’s rights. #motherandbabyhomes pic.twitter.com/aiD0XTFsTa

Saturday.
Outside The offices of the Mother and Baby Home Commission, Dublin 2.
Mother and Baby Home survivor Sheila O’Byrne (top) joined a protest organised by ‘Baby Shoes Remember’ highlighting the treatment of witness testimony by the Mother and Baby Home Commission and the whitewashing of the gravity of crimes committed against women at Mother and Baby Homes in the Commission’s final report.
‘Baby Shoes Remember’ is a group that commemorates Church and state crimes against women and children.
Fair play to yis, broadsheet, for posting this. I admit I didn’t know that this was being protested on Saturday, and I’m sorry that it was overshadowed by the clashes of stupidity taking place only a few streets away. The more media attention is shone on this topic, the better. We all know that our fine leaders have a backbone of wet cardboard when presented with enough scrutiny and public pressure, and they’ve fobbed off people for long enough.
well said, millz
Gives meat to the notion that the Fireworks etc might have been staged
