Dave JohnstonIt’s my brother’s anniversary today. He died from neglect but that is not reflected in the #MBHCOI’s Report. In 1994 my mother was lead to the graveyard at #Bessboro & told her baby was buried there. In 2019 we find out that he was buried in a famine graveyard with 30,000 other souls with not one marker. We have no idea on this 5 acre site where he is. #MotherAndBabyHomes
MWB Two Ltd are applying for planning again via Cork City Council No:2241568 for apartments at #Bessboro that will overlook a very peaceful place that has become the unofficial memorial for the women & children that died. Children were buried in this area and others but the Govt has refused to do a thorough investigation that may help identify the burial place of 859 missing babies. #bessborough #MotherAndBabyHomes #BessboroBabies

Redacted Lives
Redacted Lives is a six-part documentary series from The Journal that tells the real story of mother and baby homes in Ireland; from what happened within; to how the State continues to deny survivors access to information, proper redress and ownership of their true stories. Finally, they get to speak in their own words, in their own voices. Published weekly for six weeks, first episode out November 10.Presented by Órla Ryan, produced by Nicky Ryan with executive producer Sinéad O’Carroll. Hosted on Acast.

#introduction: In 1994 I moved from London to Cork, this event caused my mother to tell me that she had a baby in the Sacred Hearts Convent at #Bessboro in 1960.She explained how she nearly died &how her healthy baby William became poorly. My mothers pleas to get him medical help were ignored &he consequently died at 6 weeks.The fight for #Justice for William& the other children that died goes on.The burial place of 859 #BessboroBabies is unknown. #MotherAndBabyHomes #MyRecordsMyRight #Survivors
Teeny TimbreMorning #irishtwitter. An Introduction & explanation! My profile photo is not me 😂, I remain anonymous as I am completely honest here about my past, my remaining family know very little about my past & id like to keep it that way. Born in #Bessboro, #adopted into a family with a grandfather who started sexually abusing me at age 8. Miscarried at age 12. In my teens I was in an abusive relationship for 3 years! Here I am now a sarcastic, blunt little woman, who offers an ear to those who need it
