I find myself to be more of a visual learner, and working on generating visuals, that speak a thousand words. In this case, I'm doing some admin tasks tonight, one of which was a wordcloud of all 679 surnames shared between the 1,443 mothers and children who died in Pelletstown, a mother and baby home in Dublin. See any surnames you recognise? #genealogy #motherandbabyhomes

Sign, Share, print off & hang in the community. Help us preserve the grounds of #Bessborough where 923 children & 31 women died. The burial place of 859 children are unknown. Many died & were buried without their mothers present. They deserved better #Truth #MotherAndBabyHomes https://www.change.org/p/stop-future-development-on-remaining-bessborough-grounds

#MotherAndBabyHomes survivors & adopted people need your help!

ℹ️Govt intends to pass its ‘redress’ scheme through the Dáil on Wednesday.

🚨The scheme excludes 40% of survivors & denies healthcare to two-thirds.

These two TDs were already on my shit list but I suppose there's no rule saying they can't be on it multiple times. #mastodaoine #Redress #MotherAndBabyHomes #deise #mastodeise #waterford

€5,000 does not give my mother the #redress she wanted. Money will not bring back her baby or compensate for the ordeal she went through. Acknowledging & accepting responsibility for the death of baby William would be a start. #Justice #MotherAndBabyHomes - Redacted Lives: Final episode explores redress and plans to excavate Tuam mother and baby home site

It’s my brother’s anniversary today. He died from neglect but that is not reflected in the #MBHCOI’s Report. In 1994 my mother was lead to the graveyard at #Bessboro & told her baby was buried there. In 2019 we find out that he was buried in a famine graveyard with 30,000 other souls with not one marker. We have no idea on this 5 acre site where he is. #MotherAndBabyHomes

Just watching #Irelandam on #virginmedia
and their piece on #motherandbabyhomes #magdalenelaundries
It's horrific what the #Irish state and #Catholic Church did to #Women of #ireland
#mothers and #children were brutalised
They deserve #redress #compensation their #records
Their stories need to be told
There should be a museum also dedicated to all those mistreated by the state and #church
We had aspects of the #handmaidstale in this country
