Please don’t forget our Thalidomide Mothers. This lifelong battle for justice, from a tragedy not of their making, was truly an unfair burden. Please share

Utterly sad to share the news that Mum, Peggy Murphy, has died. Peggy and her son Martin have worked tirelessly on the Thalidomide campaign for many years. Many will remember them from radio and TV and telling the story from the Mothers side. Sorry seemed to be the hardest word.

TONIGHT on Upfront with Katie Hannon part 2 a tribute to Thalidomide Mother and campaigner Peggy Murphy. Peggy, much loved by all, died last week at 95, never having got her one wish. A simple apology. Her family wanted her to be acknowledged tonight

Our great friend and campaigner Sandra Dunne is 64 today. (top pic right) Sandra represents our members who the State have yet to acknowledge. A lifelong and unfair battle for justice. Sandra deserves a great day 💖 Fianna Fáil Fine Gael Houses of the Oireachtas - Tithe an Oireachtais

Stephen (@Simmondsawis) and I visited the Thalidomide Memorial a few weeks ago and took these photographs to show how beautiful its location is surrounded by the blossom of spring. #ToRememberIsToCare

“Everyone knows that healing only properly begins with an apology. Even sixty years of trauma can be erased by a heartfelt ‘sorry’. To refuse one is to extend the trauma, the hurt, the feeling of exclusion indefinitely” Mary Clarken, 95 years old today, Thalidomide Mother.

Birthday greetings to another great campaigner Ger Kilduff. Still waiting far too long to be acknowledged by the State. Ger was amazing on the Thalidomide documentary last year ❤️ play.virginmediatelevision.ie/watch/replay/1…
