Hi Maggie not supprised its gone quiet there wondering what to do with OURmoney.Get rid of Buckley and co for a start .and why didnt any of the group leaders fight for 200million euros that went to the childrens hospital .The hospital was in the making even before we got our compensation fron the religous orders. Why take it from our fund?2006 i saw comments for the hospital where they were going to build it and such.

Peg and I have arrived inYuma, arizona, it was a four day drive 3,400 kilometres little tiring but we are here ii one piece. I will keep my ear to the ground but I am not amused at the awful Irish Govt. shennanigans with the compensation.

John, I will find out when my brother went into Glin. Michael worked in the sewing room. However, I had another brother Paddy also there, and he worked in the boot room. My eldest bro Paddy lives in Ennis, he will fill me in with more information when he visits. I'll keep in touch. Take Care and thanks for your participation. Margaret. ( I know Michael did boxing for Glin, as my Mother had a cutting from the Clare Champion Newspaper.  Michael  won the fight that day.) Our family are from Clare.

Hi Margaret,Jimmy, John,

Michael was with me in Glin in the 40s I have a photo of Michael and a group sitting with John Stokes who was helping the boxing team. John lived in Ballybunnion and worked in a drapery shop in the town of Glin, he wrote to me many years after I got out, I still have his letter. Say Hi to Paddy for me Margaret. I will send you a copy of the photo when I get back to Canada in April. John phoned me from San Diego a couple of hours from here and I will have to give him a ring back.
