Hey kids, we are a small Irish family business.

We make lovely things by hand.

Could you buy something so we can pay for our Christmas packaging?

Thanks a mill.

Decision 2 years overdue for the 2 planning applications on the grounds of #Bessboro has been refused. Not to do with the historical nature of the property but because of the scale & mix of the development. WE ARE DELIGHTED. #SaveBessboro

The 17 named below died in #Bessboro, this contradicts the findings of the Commission in relation to this plot!
There is no headstone, no maintenance of the plot & therefore until now they were the #ForgottenDead.
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.

Don’t you think this field looks suspicious ?? A 10 year old in 1947 came across an open grave of 3 to 4 babies in this area at #Bessboro & was chased off. In his 80’s he contacted #CatherineCorless to pass this info on. I met him & he described what happened. The TRUTH matters. #MotherAndBabyHomes

One man in Ireland has set himself an unusual challenge - to record the sound of every bird species in the country. Many of those birds may soon no longer exist. My report on @theworld.org with thanks to @seanronayne.bsky.social Listen back and read here: theworld.org/stories/2025...

One man in Ireland has set an unusual challenge for himself: Record the sound of every bird species in the country. The mission is not frivolous, though. Many of the birds may soon be extinct.

All Saints Cemetary @ #CarrsHill. Estimated 30,000 buried here including some of the #Bessborobabies that died in hospital. No burial records exist. What a crying shame! My brother suspected to be buried here. #MotherAndBabyHomes #859Missing #Bessborough

Have a wee look in the mirror, @time-magazine.bsky.social, and ask yourselves one question. Who was more deserving of Person of the Year - an adjudged sex offender, or a woman who incredibly bravely testified against her rapists? Your shame will live forever.

When my 82yr old mother was 17 she was sent to #Bessboro. It was a cruel harsh place where she nearly died & her baby boy did. Her sorry from the govt is £8,000 but she must sign a waiver for it. She won’t, the waiver is an insult.This govt have treated survivors deplorably #GE24 #MotherAndBabyHomes

This is the third instance I've seen of the scheme being advertised in the UK, than Ireland. I've not seen anyone else mention a poster in Ireland about from the one randomly placed one in Cork. 🤦🏻‍♂️
