It is with great sadness that I have learned that a well-known Victim & Survivor of Ireland's scandalous Institutions has died. I have written a short statement which you can see below

Further to the #tuam #unmarkedgraves...more have been discovered.
The evil of the #church never seems to end.

It’s now 167 days since I met reps from Irish Govt abt the #NCRR & #NonRecurrence -their idea! Still no contact; no plan on implementation - this is important!
"Miss Grace Howard, daughter of Joseph Howard Jr., has gone back to her work among the Indians at Crow Creek Agency in SD. Miss Howard has a grant of eighty acres of land from the govt and has ten Indian girls living in the house with her. Her idea seems to be in the line of industrial work. She says "The girls who return from Hampton Institute have learned some of the ways of civilization, but there is absolutely no incentive for them to go on with the new life they have begun. For the Indian boy there is always the farm. But for the girl there is nothing. Housekeeping in a Sioux cabin is too simple to furnish much occupation."

What has the state done to remember these boys? Where is their public list of the #ForgottenDead from the #Institutions?

2/2 As this concept is being considered/delivered into #NCRR project, & for the sake of all those who suffered in #Ireland's Institutions (eg: #MotherandBabyHomes #MagdalenLaundries #IndustrialSchools), let's be aware of the International Right to Truth Day - 24/3/25: www.un.org/en/observanc...
This article by @kittyholland.bsky.social is factually incorrect.
It’s untrue to state ‘these are the plans, take it or leave it’.
Voicing only the views of a woman who publicly stated ‘adoptees are not survivors’ is offensive.

distracted from the many failings of the #RedressScheme, memorialisation should be the final cog of the wheel to be put in place & should not distract those who are meant to fight to have all terms of the scheme adhered to 1st. The failings apply to both #MotherandBabyHomes & #IndustrialSchools
#ProgrammeForGovernment is 162 pages.
There is only 1 tiny paragraph referencing #MotherandBabyHomes & a small section on #IndustrialSchools
This is insulting for #Survivors
No commitment to changing #RedressScheme
No mention of #Justice for those who are excluded due to the 6 month rule.

I attended the ‘National Centre for Research & Remembrance’ Engagement event today in Cork.
The aim is to establish a national memorial & site of conscience to honour equally ALL who were resident in Irish institutions.
These institutions were -
#IndustrialSchools
#MagdalenLaundries
What gets overlooked is the understanding that the combined experiences of #MotherAndBaby Homes, #IndustrialSchools, #MagdaleneLaundries, #BoardedOut and #CountyHomeInstitutions, and such, is that this was, and remains, the most immense and unresolved violation of #HumanRights in the Irish State.
