#ireland #MotherAndBabyHomes #MagdalenLaundries One aspect of my #Legal #activism relates to Remembrance. In my latest Podcast I conclude that without “non-recurrence” in the proposed National centre, there is no true Transitional Justice frankbrehany.substack.com/p/a-silver-lin…
I spoke to an 89 year old gentleman yesterday who was born in #Bessboro. He visits Bessboro regularly, the compulsion to visit the place he was with his mother is very strong. He cried as he explained tracing her but she died 8weeks before. He showed me the sacred ground 1/4
Decision 2 years overdue for the 2 planning applications on the grounds of #Bessboro has been refused. Not to do with the historical nature of the property but because of the scale & mix of the development. WE ARE DELIGHTED. #SaveBessboro

William was 37 days old when he died; his mum Madeleine only seventeen years #Bessboro Searching for decades for truth William’s family were refused an inquest but not giving up his mum is now challenging that decision. Plz support @ctcantwell & her mum #MotherAndBabyHome 💔
William was born a healthy baby. If he had received timely medical care we believe he’d be alive today. #JusticeForWilliam #Bessboro ‘Mother of baby who died shortly after birth at Bessborough brings action over inquest refusal’ breakingnews.ie/ireland/mother… via @breakingnewsie
1/3 #MotherAndBabyHome #SeanRossAbbey “I was operating a tractor and levelling out the ground and up turned many bones, really small bones and the job was called off. I can’t say whose bones they were, I don’t know but I remember seeing them and that was it, the job was stopped
Had he survived #SeanRossAbbey #MotherAndBabyHome Eugene O’Brien would be 65 years old now. His death record dated 20/9/60 recalls choking while feeding on “probably porridge”. He was then five months old. 💔😢 #RIP #LostBabies Where is he buried? 1090 babies died in SR Abbey
