A Dublin Cemetery has been discovered as the gravesite of forgotten children from the Bethany Home Dublin. Bethany Home was associated with the Church of Ireland and Church of Ireland missionary society, the Irish Church Missions to Roman Catholics. It operated in Blackhall Place, Dublin, from 1921-34 and in Orwell Road, Rathgar, until it closed in 1972.

The Bethany Home was a combined maternity home, children’s home and place of detention for women convicted of petty theft, prostitution, infanticide and birth concealment.

The home and the religious ethos that sustained and ran it was part of what James Smith of Boston College in his book, ‘Ireland's Magdalen Laundries and the Nation's Architecture of Containment’ (2007), termed an Irish ‘containment culture’ that focused on single women and effectively criminalised childbirth out of wedlock. ... read full story / add a comment

Michael Finnegan, Workers' Party President, has slammed Brian Cowen's view of history as outlined in his speech 'A Decade of Centenaries: Commemorating Shared History'.

"Brian Cowen", said Mr Finnegan "has outlined a list of events from the decade 1912 to 1922 which undoubtedly are of importance. But it is the events which he has omited which reveal his mindset and his narrow nationalistic view of irish history"

PRESS RELEASE

Left alone to die

19ú May/Bealtaine 2010

Not Now, Not Again. Not another Irish Republican, how soon we’ve forgotten.

29 years ago ten Irish Republican Prisoners of War gave their lives on hunger strike for Political Status, for Ireland. Each was scarified on the altar of British imperialism draped with the Butchers Apron.

The administration in Occupied Ireland (DUP, SDLP and Provisional Sinn Féin) supported by their masters in Westminster are now hoping to freshen their blood soaked apron with another Irish Republican. His name, Liam Hannaway.
