Hello robert I am relatively new to all that is happening about the trust fund but was told that I could get help for my Grandson when he chooses to go on to either further education or University, but i do not think the irish government should be doing things without talking to us the SURVIVORS I feel we should be involved. I spent 7 years in a hell hole they call the convent of mercy but was shown anything but mercy.

Thank you for the kind welcome Robert

hi Rob yes the group leaders left us another questionare .I have never met these people before only since the statutary funding came about .all they are asking is the same stuff .they are very unaproachable iam affraid Rob.

hello rob ' well yes i would like to join this group ' as i have not seen my elder sister for 40 years , But you know rob that finding people does not mean that thay will be willing to make a place for us in thier lives , we can never get a family life back . its sad but at least we meet them at least once

pauline you took the words out of my mouth, i am ten years into reunion with my son and i have met him twice face to face and spoken to him 4 times on the phone in those ten years :-(

hello i wish we -the victims of ireland could join in a picket of the irish state embassies and trade missions located especially in united kingdom and u s a and brought our injustices out into the bright sunlight of public domain -the public at large must know ,only then will we feel we -survivors have protected irelands future generations of children. they are all vunerable . future victims for the evil beaurachy waiting in the wings.

robert, love to have you as a friend. we're all in this together, and it it nice for me to have this site with my own kind, all the best to you and your wife, thanks for the site. maggie

Hi Robert

Thank you. The Add Comment button on Andrew Brennan's blog wasn't working yesterday.

I found out about your website by following the link on the late Charlie's ("The Hare") Maguire's obituary published in The Irish Times newspaper entited "Victim of 'Irish gulag' who spent most of his life in State custody":

Hi Robert

Apologies - a correction! I read the obituary of Charlie ("The Hare") Maguire in The Irish Times. I then Googled for more information and found the following political forum, and this was where I found the link to The Shame of Ireland website:
