Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

and dig up any of dose parents who willingly disowned der chislers and defile their corpses.

A medical gold card so to speak.

And lets not forget all the good Bertie did for us all.

I think we need more of this ladies story. All shes said is she was born in a county home and spent 6 months there. Why should this entitle her to a medical card?

Which was facilitated and encouraged by the state. This is our national, patriarchal, church run state chicken coming home to roost. It had to happen sometimes. More power to these people.

You'd want your head examined to be a politician going knocking on doors right now.

On de other hand, you'd have to admire their gumption…………………………………………..after you're done beatin' der ass, of course

Shouldn't they be suing the god parents so 😂

I don’t get animated by much but discussions like this make me so mad and sad.

The amount of lives that were utterly ruined. Not a single jot of humanity. The pain and torture landed on women and kids is unfathomable.

And for what? Evil men in skirts policing society on the guidance of fairytales.

I agree with you. But these families who dumped their daughters in these places were definately not kind, compassionate people. The kind and compassionate helped their daughters and raised their grandchild and I know numerous examples of this happening. The cruel families left their daughters to rot. The families had a huge role in what happened.

Sadly some of those affected are blinkered thinking that their birth families wanted them and their mothers were forced into these homes. Sometimes the only people 'forcing girls into homes' were families. This needs to be awknowledged also.

Just thinking of Miriam who can still remember her number from the home bus

I can barely remember the name of a movie that I watched the weekend,

But can remember the landline number from 30 years ago,

My clock card number from a job i had 35years,

And the number bus i got to school 40 odd year ago

I can remember my number that I was called plus family members and the phone number from the place I lived over 50 years ago.

Nothing odd about it at all.

The phone number allowing for the added number that came about since then doesn't exist.

Maybe I'm getting you wrong but kids were numbers. The government paid institutions to care for kids and also council charged parents if they could afford it to pay for their children in care in these places.

It was a big money making thing for the church.

Does anyone think for second the church was doing this for a good cause rather than money.

It made them money and they would put people against people on their alter because you had child outside wed.

The nuns arrived my home in a car and ran over a hen and killed it of course.
