They caused untold personal harm to me.
To breach someone’s trust & ‘out’ their identity is unforgivable. #DoNoHarm applies to peoples privacy.

I had previously told this person to not add my name to any Group correspondence in relation to advocacy.
I received no personal message from this person since this time last year.
I had huge misgivings about their lack of commitment to the advocacy of #Bessboro

2/4
They ‘outed’ my identity to over 750 people.
They blatantly lied , with scurrilous claims that I was in constant contact with them, had acted without their approval & used the Groups name when advocating with public representatives.

John I’ve no advise but I’ve always admired your resilience & grit. Your unwavering devotion to your wife has always been evident. You deserve support & time for just ‘you’. I hope today is a good day for you

Our judicial system is archaic, no leniency should ever be allowed in #abuse/#rape cases,
we serve a lifelong sentence of #trauma, a rapist deserves a lifelong sentence too!

I have suffered my whole life because of him, every wrong decision I made was me trying to cope with my #trauma.
He destroyed who I was meant to be.
My life was not & is not a life that anyone would want to live.
I hope Niamh gets some closure but this is not #Justice

I’ve tried to overcome my past, I’ve tried to live but realistically I am just ‘existing’.
Not a day goes by without something reminding me of my past, I still have to live with my memories of my disgusting paedophile grandfather

However until I have been given an absolute guarantee that an equal space within the exhibitions will be designated to ALL I cannot encourage others to engage. @DeptCDE envisages that the #NCRR will open in 2027, yet absolutely no element of the design has been finalised!

#Adoptees #Boarded & #Fostered lived experiences were dismissed by the #MotherandBabyHome #Redress scheme, the majority of us are excluded from Financial Redress.
The #NCRR must deliver our only remaining form of #Justice!
The Museum is eager to engage with survivors

Please support & attend the #Bessboro Commemoration, I want the remaining grounds of Bessboro saved.
To date our government have refused to preserve the remaining grounds, a place of sanctuary for all survivors of Bessboro

A girl who had both physical & emotional scars inflicted on her by her mother & grandfather.
My childhood experiences were read out at last years #Bessboro commemoration.
My story is only 1 of many who suffered due to state negligence

She had suffered a cruel life & continued the cycle by facilitating her fathers #sexualabuse of me. He abused me once a week, for 4 years until I miscarried at the age of 12.
I attend the #Bessboro Commemoration to honour my 8 year old self, an innocent girl.
