    Some chancer looking to jump on the compo bandwagon!


    If she did 2 years in one of those laundries she deserves compensation. Not all of them are on the list to be compensated, it's the government trying to save themselves a few bob while they splash out €90,000,000 on the Euro presidency.

    But just rattling on about misery the way Joe does doesn't help the situation much either, they need to direct this straight at the government.

    She's giving a very concise pictorial description. She tells it very well.

    does anyone who has any sort of hard life expect money these days?
    My Mother was the oldest of 11 and had to look after all her siblings....
    and had an absolute crap life and was taken out of school at 11.
    Should she ring Joe and look for money?

    Really really getting tired of all these greedy chancers..

    these were different times, people, you cannot judge what went on
    by modern standards...


    Life in a family was no picnic in those days either

    I don't think so. It's very matter-of-fact. She is not going off on silly tangents

    This topic has been done to death, but having said that

    This is horrendous - we are not talking about the middle ages here. Only about 60 years ago. Ireland should hang its head in shame at the dreadful way it treated its vulnerable children

    Most of these stories date from way further back than the 90's.....
    and nowhere did i say it was acceptable, if you care to read my post properly

    I know that these stories are boring now to a lot of people but I am fascinated and completely humbled by them, that fact these women are still here and living normal lives and haven't ended up in jail or in a mental hosptial is amazing.

    I think everyone on here would agree that these stories were horrific and sad, but they have been discussed at great length and in great detail via Liveline on numerous occasions, I just feel the presenter yet again is driving the agenda and continually neglects, not more important subjects, but more topical subjects for whatever reason.

    Was thinking the same myself - whatever about giving up one baby, what on earth would want you do go through that a second time?

    Thats one of the great myths about this whole saga. If they were confined against their will they could simply sue for false imprisonment and get a sh1t-load of money. They can't do that because they were not kept against their will. They just had nowhere to go. Their families and communities abandoned them. All this talk of "escaping" is just a load of codswallop.
