It is times like this that I wish I had the power to expand @Project_Infant to include the names of those who died in the UK’s institutions too. Being a dual citizen of both countries & one half of my family in each country — it hurts that I’m not able to help with the UK front.

@cmcgettrick @breeda_murphy @maglaundries @ctcantwell By posting the submission on social media you’ve made it public interest. By not making their names public you are denying them their #Justice. In order for the theme of ‘non recurrence’ to be honoured all who died at the hands of the State & church must be publicly remembered.
1/6. The Irish State’s criteria for intervention on an institutional or private (burial) site requires the remains to fall under “manifestly inappropriately buried”. In 1992-93 on preparing the former #MagdalenLaundry site for sale twenty two extra sets of remains were found.
Read this thread. This is just something that we should not be trying to reduce because of potential difficulties. When trying to determine relationships via DNA, it’s what many genealogists do on the daily. Genealogy plays a much bigger role in this than people realise.

Daniel has recovered names not just from #MotherAndBabyHomes but other institutions, he shares those on @Project_Infant so we never forget. Today he spoke to @radiomidwest about names recovered from #Glenamaddy home 1921-1925

@maglaundries @ctcantwell You state they were marginalised in death yet you’ve just redacted their headstone that’s in a public cemetery 🤷♀️

Great to have expert opinion + support of @david_machugh on the #TuamBabies #MotherAndBabyHome journey. Cousins such as #TedSteede ⬇️continue to request inclusion on #DNA database for matching purposes. Time is not on our side @NormaFoleyTD1 @MichealMartinTD @OireachtasNews

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 mothers— their remains hidden in a septic tank beneath a housing estate. CNN’s @donie on this painful story.
...the 1911 Census (projectinfant.ie/the-homes/arta…) 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.
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/arta… Improved transcripts of the 1901 Census (projectinfant.ie/the-homes/arta…) and...
Dear @NormaFoleyTD1 — act on your own government’s 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

According to Institutional Burials Act 2022, Section 8, which refers to ‘Manifestly Inappropriate Burials’ all of the highlighted subsections apply to #Bessboro The government is not above the law. The government must be compelled to act #Justice #TheForgottenDead
The plot is poorly kept, with the only two 'monuments', a broken plaque for Julia O'Donoghue in May 1984 & a metal cross with the wrong name inscribed: Doris Walsh instead of Ann Walsh in January 1985. Below are 13 women & 4 children from Bessborough that are buried in the plot.
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. @Timbre_Breda & I finished looking at the cemetery registers for this plot. 17 people are buried here.
