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

Next Saturday I shall be in Birmingham (UK) for the showing of the important documentary, 'Testimony':

"When will this government say, we violated your human rights?"

In my latest #Podcast & #Substack article, I answer the questions about whether my book or I am anti-Catholic in the context of experiences of family experiences in #Ireland's #MotherandBabyHome & #MagdalenLaundries: open.substack.com/pub/frankbre...

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!

A Silver Lining for National Remembrance IV? 151 days. That's the time that's passed, in silence, on the most important issue on Ireland's Institutional system; "non-recurrence".

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-l...

Their mothers washing the dirty linen of Omelas behind closed doors
The ones hidden to preserve the selfish ‘happiness’ of a morally corrupt society

With everything that happened in these vile #Institutions, I was intrigued to hear #PopeLeoXIV speak to #HumanDignity. Interesting wouldn't you say?

Right to Truth Day - EN | United Nations The right to the truth about gross human rights violations and serious violations of human rights law is an inalienable and autonomous right, linked to the duty and obligation of the State to protect ...

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...

@pontifexes.bsky.social Can we pls then have some of your recognition of such past actions by #Irish Religious Orders against women & children via #MotherandBabyHomes #MagdalenLaundries & #IllegalAdoption & suspicious, unrecorded & inappropriate deaths & burials? I would say it’s time; wouldn’t you?

I welcome the film #Testimony from #UGFilms, launching #DublinFilmFest on 28/2

It will remind Ireland this has not gone away along with my fervent hope that the #HighPark women will never be forgotten www.undergroundfilms.ie/testimony

“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

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

#Ireland #MagdalenLaundries #StarterPack

To add to my request, I'd also be interested to hear from anyone opposing #BabyBoxes etc in #Europe & elsewhere and of course #MaternityHomes in the #USA; there's plenty of common ground!

This is a photo (poor quality) of an urn containing the remains of one or more of the 154 women who were exhumed from the High Park Magdalen Laundry in Dublin, cremated and reinterred in Glasnevin

#Ireland #GeneralElection2024

I've been watching news concerning #Irish General Election, electing TD's 4the #Dáil @oireachtasnews.bsky.social - there are many social issues being discussed, but an elephant lurks: the #injustices for #MotherandBabyHomes #MagdalenLaundries: where's their manifesto?

#Ireland #MagdalenLaundries

Really getting into #BlueSky and settling in very nicely!

I just want to give a shout out to a #StarterPack that I've created a couple of days ago

“they pointed out that the Office of the Information Commissioner decided in 2017 that the act doesn’t apply to coroners”

This is important. I’ve questioned methodology of “decision” with OIC; awaiting response to my complaint
