#InternationalWomensDay2022

I've a number of tributes to pay on this important day.

The first must obviously go to the women of #Ukraine

This picture demonstrates their suffering & their personal courage

I stand with them in #Solidarity

It's a strange start to this tribute, but today is the 21st anniversary of my Dad's death. His life and of his Mother, Mary Breheny, is couched in real courage through #MotherAndBabyHomes #MagdalenLaundries

#Justice is coming!
#InternationalWomensDay2022

I pay tribute to #BreedaMurphy from the #TuamMotherandBabyHomeAlliance

Her passion, compassion and determination against @cnalive @merrionstreet to deliver the stories & change of #Survivors #MotherAndBabyHomes & #Magdalene story is inspirational

1/ Iā€™ve never, ever shown this photo but for the day thatā€™s in it, the story needs to be told. Sit back and strap in. #MotherAndBabyHomes
2/ My late mum, Josie, was the last of four children born non-maritally in Wexford in 1933. Adoption didnā€™t exist then and her two older brothers were raised in-family, because they were boys and useful. A sister born before her died age 4 in the county home.
3/ Josie was packed off to St Dominicā€™s in Waterford where she spent roughly 4 years getting an ā€œeducation.ā€ She fondly remembered day trips to Tramore and only ever referred to this time as ā€œwhen I was in school in Ireland.ā€

#OperationDreamland is an operation of the Light forces to start a #newRenaissance on the surface of this planet.

The first #Renaissance 500 years ago has been initialized by a certain positive occult group behind the #WhiteNobility in 15th century Florence. Image
The second #Renaissance will be started by the same occult group worldwide and will herald the final victory of the free human spirit over the forces of limitation. Image

@maeveorourke @SenLynnRuane @Donnchadhol @seansherlocktd @CharlieFlanagan @ConorUCCLaw @maireadenright @maglaundries Redress schemes can hardly be improved upon. Measures to optimise cost cutting include
@maeveorourke @SenLynnRuane @Donnchadhol @seansherlocktd @CharlieFlanagan @ConorUCCLaw @maireadenright @maglaundries 1. The introduction of closing dates for applications. Redress schemes progressed from being open (HepC/HIV) to closed in some cases. The time period was reduced from 60 days (Lourdes) to 20 days (#symphysiotomy).
@maeveorourke @SenLynnRuane @Donnchadhol @seansherlocktd @CharlieFlanagan @ConorUCCLaw @maireadenright @maglaundries 2. The introduction of exclusions
The Lourdes scheme introduced two, age (no #redress for ovariotomy if 40 or over) and doctor ID (women similarly abused by doctors other than Dr Neary were excluded from redress).

I interviewed the wonderful Sheila O'Byrne in her lovely house off Blarney Street. Sheila is a Magdalene survivor, 19 years of age when she was sent to St Patrickā€™s Magdalene Laundry on Dublinā€™s Navan Road in 1976 for the crime of being pregnant. #Magdalene
Sheila hasnā€™t seen her son since he was a little baby, taken from her arms and sold by the nuns. Heā€™d be 41 now, wherever he is. Sheila is desperate to know where her little boy is. She never married, never had any other kids. ā€œNot after what was done to me,ā€ she told me.
Sheila lives not far from the site of the former Good Shepherd Magdalene Laundry in Sundayā€™s Well, and she is disgusted at the thought that a place of such horror might be concreted over and have an apartment block built on it.
