"How bullying works" all this week on Liveline.

Fair play to Joe Duffy for absenting himself during the discussion, so as to avoid the conflict of interest.

It's like she's getting her revenge for a lifetime of oppression by the Catholic Church. I find it a bit unusual that they have a problem with the burying of dead babies when they have just brought in the right to legally kill a baby. Just seems contradictory to me.

If Zappone wants to take the high ground, what did the State ever do for these people ? Would the babies have been dead on the street instead if the State were looking after them?

I remember when doing the light aircraft hobby flying in early 1980s, one of the pilots ran out of fuel because he wanted to tank up in Weston where Darby Kennedy always ensured bottom prices for everything aviatorial; engine stopped between Dublin Airport and Weston, and he landed in nearest suitable field which happened to be the grounds of a mother & baby home. As a young twenty something girl I was stunned that such still existed, however I imagined the nuns were probably kindly aul wans who took great care of mother & baby. How wrong I was.

The Church was quite happy to take a major role of influence in education, hospital, morals, ethics and the 'fallen women'. And State was quite happy at the time to defer and let them on with it.

Ordinary citizens, mostly from the rural and lower classes took the sh*t from both. A plague on them both.

Where were the families and the fathers of the babies. Babies conceived through incest and by married men a lot of the time. The women would have been seen as sluts and no one cared, the Government least of all.

The religious orders were the only people to offer a roof over these womens heads, thats the reality.

I dont know what Zappone is at, the communities closed ranks and shes whining now because the community wont open up to her. The communities know exactly what was going on but they wsnted the pregnant woman locked away so she couldnt lay a claim to the married mans money, this was needed for the children of the marriage.

We have abortion now and its free, the married men can use women now and they dont even have to worry about paying for abortion.

Zappone has hundreds of children in care now that she needs to look after. Society doesnt care about these children either, keep them in care until they are eighteen and then show them the door.

There wasnt a higher death rate in the nursing homes, there was high death rates in the slums too. If you have septicemea in 2019 you have a very high risk of dying too if its not identified. I heard recently of someone dying from it recently, he was told he had mumps and was sent home, he died four days later.

The nuns orchestrated a deception involving the use of faked postcards.
Now that's despicable and something I didn't know - it pales compared to the shabby treatment they were handing out, but is just an illustration of how devious and corrupt that some of them were.
That simple deception is a sign of something much more rotten in the the institution.

By whom and led on by who? The priest raging from the pulpit promising the fires of hell, whilst in many cases having their bit on the side?

It was the so called 'ordinary' people of this country who were rotten. They were rotten in their pride, so much so that when a girl got pregnant 'out of wedlock', she was dumped by her family and ostracised by her community.
It's a bit rich to be blaming the nuns now. The nuns didn't go round the country kidnapping pregnant girls. The girls were literally dumped on their doorstep.

We certainly should shoulder some of the blame but there's a marked reluctance here to look in that particular mirror so fearful are we as a nation of what we might see
