Thank you to the incredible speakers- Alien Enemies Act of 1798 has relevance to our #JapaneseAmerican history and to our society today. @USCDornsife @DenshoProject.bsky.social #USCGouldLaw #UCILaw #NCRR & #JACL for their co-sponsorship. #alienenemiesactof 1798 #usc #uscshinsoitocenter

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!
Thanks to her leadership, emotional testimony became the beating heart of the redress movement.
Without Cherry on top, the Civil Liberties Act may never have passed.

However until I have been given an absolute guarantee that an equal space within the exhibitions will be designated to ALL I cannot encourage others to engage. @DeptCDE envisages that the #NCRR will open in 2027, yet absolutely no element of the design has been finalised!

#Adoptees #Boarded & #Fostered lived experiences were dismissed by the #MotherandBabyHome #Redress scheme, the majority of us are excluded from Financial Redress.
The #NCRR must deliver our only remaining form of #Justice!
The Museum is eager to engage with survivors

I recently had a lengthy meeting with the Curators of the proposed National Centre for Research & Remembrance.
As an adult #adoptee who is excluded from financial #redress I tried to convey the importance of the #NCRR representing each survivors experience.
Thanks Breda - absolutely agree. The #Irish Govt have correctly introduced the important #HumanRights point of ‘non-recurrence’ into the #NCRR. To not do so would fail all survivors stories and their “Right to Truth”, to shed light on “why” this happened. An uncomfortable inconvenient truth!
An excellent podcast by @consumerfrank.bsky.social
Many survivors have attempted to get answers to the many reservations we have about the proposed #NCRR, my questions to #DCEDIY remain unanswered.
#NonRecurrence must be portrayed properly in order for the #NCRR to stand as a site for conscience
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 history should never be repeated, lets make sure the survivors testimonies are heard for future generations to learn from. www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41...

“The power of history is in telling the truth”
Nothing will tell me that the power of ‘non-recurrence’ is a principle whose time has come for the #NCRR - time for the exposure of truth legacysites.eji.org

Thank you Frank for your in-depth reply. As always, you explain clearly. The recent objection to the centre I agree with, the wall should not be knocked, it is an integral part that shows that the women were kept behind this wall. While I agree with the establishment of the #NCRR I feel it has
5. In my paper, I demonstrate all of these issues, with evidence, because I believe that whatever about all the issues relating to the #NCRR, we must ensure that we bring value to all the stories through 'non-recurrence' & not just thro archiving/research.
Whilst 'non-recurrence' started its...
1. Breda; thanks. IMO, #NCRR needs a central focal theme. As #Irish government raised 'non-recurrence', it's only right that 'we' examine what that means. Is it simply another political definition of memorialisation, or should it actually develop along the lines of International practice?...
I’ve only glanced at it Frank, will read in detail later. The #NCRR is great in theory but more input from survivors is paramount, the engagement events were poorly advertised & I feel decisions are being made without the blessing of survivors. Your work needs to be taken seriously by the #NCRR
