This will be our 10th Anniversary gathering together to remember the Women/girls & the children that died in or later in hospital. The Government have not acted on our constant requests to investigate the grounds for burials.The loss is immeasurable. Support if you can.

In the '90s, eight different counties won Sam, four (Clare, Leitrim, Cavan, Kildare) won unforgettable provincial titles after long waits.
At the end of that decade, it was decided the c'ship structure wasn't fit for purpose! Look where we are now.
Be careful what you wish for...

The Government has ignored all but four of 29 recommendations made by survivors for legislation to provide supports for survivors of institutional abuse.

Who in RTÉ thought The Full Irish Hidden Camera Show was a good idea. Was it to give presenters jobs? Make them 'talent'. It's not funny, original and looks scripted. how does no one recognise one of irelands most recognisable sports stars and a TV presenter in bad disguises?

State apologies are ultimately meaningless unless backed up by real tangible redress measures. The State has spent the years since the Magdalene Laundries apology walking it back and shafting women trying to access redress or worse denying it.

Two of Limerick's goals were blatant square balls. Umpires need to be referees rather than the bloody refs pals. What a shambles

It's good to hear talk of State redress for the Stardust families who faced a monumental battle for justice. I just hope this redress scheme is better than the obscene shambles that is the mother and babies scheme which leaves thousands behind.

Worth remembering Tusla - Child and Family Agency sent a victim of the SPG adoption scandal an almost entirely redacted copy of her mother’s death cert “to ensure that it can’t be found” in the GRO. Redacting public records even when a legal adoption had never taken place irishexaminer.com/news/arid-3095…

BREAKING: The jury at the Stardust inquests deliver a verdict of unlawful killing for all 48 victims who died in the fire. Absolutely huge.

Advice for scholars: next time you lecture on Kant and revolutions at “Downing” (Darwin College) Cambridge, make sure your hair is neatly tied and that you’re not blonde. Or else your research impact will be on the The Spectator libido section.

Who was the genius who put The Full Irish on RTÉ a hidden camera show that looks scripted to the last and is the least funny thing on television
