It's been a week and I've gotten absolutely nothing. Cork City Council - to say I'm disappointed to say the least is an understatement. I wish to actually get a response to my correspondence with an actual result, not being left in the dark for months.

Cork City Council doesn't honour the stated time frames for replies. Cork City Council doesn't understand the legal constraints of those who were involved with the MBH Commission of Investigation. Most frustratingly, Cork City Council refuses to answer simple yes / no questions.

Looking forward to attending the premiere of "In Plain Sight" by Noelle Brown (Cllr. Noelle Brown) & Camille O'Sullivan (Camille O'Sullivan) with Mum tomorrow. Please do try and make this if you can! Tickets are available here: thesourceartscentre.ie/whats-on/eventโฆ




3 years ago today, I took a chance. Wasnโt sure how this would work out for me. With Project Infant volunteers help, weโve found 6,547 mother & baby home (adoption home etc.) children, 66 mothers and 367 Industrial School children โ covering 17 institutions. More to come!


In November of 1927, the Sacred Hearts of Jesus & Mary purchased three graves, combined into one plot in St. Joseph's Cemetery in Cork. This is what the grave looks like now. TeenyTimbre & I finished looking at the cemetery registers for this plot. 17 people are buried here.




Dear Norma Foley T.D โ act on your own governmentโs legislation. For too long, #Bessborough has been excluded from an investigation. It is there, on the Statute Book website, in black & white. The government needs to act. #MotherAndBabyHomes


St. Joseph's Industrial School on the Project Infant has had some additions. Full transcripts of every death cert of an Artane Industrial School death has been added. projectinfant.ie/the-homes/artaโฆ Improved transcripts of the 1901 Census (projectinfant.ie/the-homes/artaโฆ) and...

...the 1911 Census (projectinfant.ie/the-homes/artaโฆ) have been uploaded too. [The 1911 Census especially was in dire need of it as there was details not transcribed on the National Archive's census website for over 300 people in the Industrial School] All can be viewed on links above.

A buried scandal that's haunted Ireland for decades, with excavations now underway for the remains of hundreds of babies at a home for unwed mothersโ their remains hidden in a septic tank beneath a housing estate. CNNโs Donie O'Sullivan on this painful story.

Christiane Amanpour Donie O'Sullivan Christiane, it's not just Tuam where there are hundreds of missing babies buried who knows where. Bessborough, where my mother was born has hundreds of missing children. Sean Ross Abbey has hundreds of missing children. And these are the institutions we know about so far.
