Burying The Lead

Last night.

Mother and baby Home activists Breeda Murphy, Eunan Duffy and Frank Brehany discuss new developments on the burials bill and redress scheme for survivors of the Mother and Baby Home system in Ireland.

Breeda notes that 83 amendments to the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022 were denied by the government.

I never like to see a building demolished, however, with the history thats associated with this building I’m glad that’s finally been razed.

Reports say that more than 14,000 girls and women went through baby homes and other institutions throughout Ireland from 1922-1900.

Expectant girls from as young as 14 years old were sent here by their family or church to have their babies against their will. They were even stripped of their names as soon as they crossed the doors and were not allowed to talk. They endured all sorts of physical and mental abuse from those in charge. Once the baby was born it was taken away and adopted out against their wishes.

I visited this home on several occasions and the atmosphere was always heavy and thick, I never stayed in this location long.

    Did you ever manage to recover a copy of the BS TV episode about covid? Had been looking forward to watching it, but by the time I tried to access this comedy gold, it had disappeared. Rumour has it that a certain brain-damaged boxer was on it.

        I thought your minions were saying they could recover it from your computer? It’s such a pity, it’s like knowing that there’s a lost Leonardo masterpiece out there, but also knowing that you’ve missed that boat.

          It just amazes me that his minions, who claim they can track vaccine implants from phone data, can’t do a simple thing like recover recorded footage from his laptop.

    Ireland will forever have these little ghosts to haunt it until the right thing is done ,but still those skeletons lie without a Christian burial.
