Oh are you calling the 'lost children' liars?! Are you calling the mothers who had their children taken from them liars? This wasnt just an issue in Tuam.
You can try to re write the history of the church in Ireland all you want David but that makes you part of the problem

Never forget how the shameless Terry Prone & her Communications Clinic calloussly attempted to discredit the amazing Catherine Corless.
Still amazes me how Prone is given regulat air time on @rte & Column inches in the @irishexaminer
Never let her forget this!

The exhumation of hundreds of infants at the former mother and baby home in Tuam is due to begin in the coming weeks. Historian Catherine Corless, who uncovered the mass grave, says the 796 babies believed to be buried there will finally get justice.

Local woman, Catherine Corless grew up just outside the town of Tuam & went to school with children from the mother & baby home.
Her painstaking research and analysis of records helped to break the story in 2014.
She tells @BBCNuala why she felt the story was so important ⬇️

"My project is called ‘Cuimhneas’ (memory). The Designs are inspired by the book ‘Belonging’ by Catherine Corless and Naomi Linehan. A book detailing the stories of the Tuam Mother & Baby Home victims and survivors."

What were you doing at midnight last night? Night owl Rory Cowan was filing the accounts for 2022 for his Newry-incorporated Quality Street Entertainment. Absolutely zero change in the year, suggesting zero activity, and we still don't know what those £229,214 assets are...
23 Nov 2022
Rory Cowan has just filed the 2021, 2020 and 2019 accounts for Quality Street Entertainment. As you can see, it had assets of €100 in 2018, increased to €229,214 today. Is Rory booking his RTE income through a N Ireland company?

One book I would read is "Belonging" by Catherine Corless, one of her experiences is when she mentioned that the children went to school with her, so I imagine, some grew up in the home potentially because they weren't adopted. And yes, I've tried to imagine that too but I can't.

Not any old poem , Wordsworth wouldn’t move that lot but Zappone could inspire them even to the point where they would make up a job for her. Why?

Six years after children's bones were found in the sewage tanks of an old Irish home for unwed mothers, they're still there. And Catherine Corless is still fighting for excavation, which is imminent. A gift link to my "Lost Children of Tuam" follow-up.
