A record high - 264 settler attacks in a single month! 8 per day, you don't know if your village is next.
We are talking about Injuries, deaths, ethnic cleansing, Int. activists and Indeginous people are suffering from pogroms on a daily basis.
This is no longer a "threat", It's happening on live!

Make no mistake, this excavation wouldn’t be happening if Catherine Corless hadn’t stuck her neck out and defied people telling her to leave it alone.
But the scale of this is unimaginable. It’s not just M&B homes, it’s laundries, it’s industrial schools, it’s giant psych hospitals.

Such a heartbreaking story, felt by so many others around the country. Makes me so angry that the Taoiseach can just say that the HSE isn’t in a position to fulfil the law rtn with regards assessments for children with special needs. As if he isn’t ultimately responsible for that.
