Did Sandra Hurley say that it cost "six thousand times" what was expected?

Was she commenting on the increase in Joe's fees?

Yes; I think the notion of decimal points eluded her.

Ah; feck this.
Desperately sorry (and enraged) as I am for the way these women and their children were treated, I'm not up to listening to any more of this death and misery junkie glom off other people's misfortune.
I'm out for the day.

2smiggy

is there anything different in any of the stories, or just the same thing every day ?

only Joe could include 'Mrs Brown's Boys' in this

I like the caller mentioning "Terry Prone" and Joe spluttering and spitting venom for the mention of RTE love child !

On we go - I see Joe has decided we've heard enough about Tuam and is bringing it back to Dubalin. Some things never change anyway.

Is this woman claiming that some of the children were murdered?

If the nuns can be on the Board of Directors of companies then why are people using their "age" as an excuse for being too old to be questioned by the police?

Duffy allowing his pals in the O'Connor family get a plug in for what they are working on - forget the redress scheme, the little children abused etc - much more important to find out what Elish O'Connor is working on.

You absolute clown Duffy

Not sure they were part of the redress scheme.

Wonder were the home inmates brought out for the Corpus Christi procession ?

No mention of the priests the Archbishop would have appointed to the home in Tuam...?

Those research certs from the Gove Records Office are €4 apiece. So Catherine Corless must have put her hands in her pocket, that'd be around €3,000 worth of certs. Fair dues to her is all I can say.

"Were you married" says Joe. Exactly what the clergy would ask!

Yeah get the ****ing priest in, he'll be of great ****ing use ...

Does that mean they escaped the Woods agreement I wonder? If so, hopefully they can be pursued for every last € now.

Where was her husband while all this was going on?

this is bizarre

Hopefully hellfire exists so these lying hypocrites can find a suitable care home there.

Do you mean her parents?

O.K. O.K. O.K. Duffy wants to move on.

The O'Carroll's adopted Phil, but after a week of listening to Brendan's jokes, he left and went back to the home of his own volition.

Give her a "keep the faith", Joe.

Was late tuning in, 1976!!!!! I thought she was going to say the 50's. It gets worse

This caller even has his own Jeremy Kyle tagline.

Her mother was the route cause. Kicked her out & her dad would have taken her back. Awful.

I've heard of alot of similiar cases where it was the girls mother who orchestrated the handover.

Women normally the ones that care most about what the neighbours think, that's why.

That doesnt fit the media's narrative that it was all done by men.

What?? Nuns are male now?

Sorry for any unclarity about my reference to 'lying hypocrites'.
The 'people' I had in mind are those members of religious orders, the HSE and any other similar groups who wilfully obstruct investigations and cause distress to citizens who ask perfectly legitimate questions about the strange unorthodox treatment (to put it no stronger)meted out to their families in state/religious institutions.
The behaviour of these characters is a disgrace to their profession and an affront to the norms of an open democratic society which we (perhaps fancifully) believe exists in Ireland.

There is a common thread running through all these stories. The young women were mostly kicked out by their families. Everyone is blaming the nuns for what happened and indeed they do have plenty to answer for. But the culprits-in-chief were their own families who abandoned them.
I shudder to think what would have happened if the nuns hadn't been around! Would they have been dumped on the side of the road?

Families who may well have gone against their own instincts but who regardless, followed the religious & cultural dogma of the day given down by the priests and which dogma was implemented by the brothers and nuns.

Personally, I'd be for stripping the churches, both Catholic & Protestant of all their properties and assets. Let them go back to a simple life of poverty that they seem happy to propose to others.

Roger_007

I've never heard of a half-boarder in an orphanage?

A horrendous birth.

Tell me more, says Joe.

Think we're gone past saturation point on this ...diminishing returns in terms of grief ,shock,sympathy etc.
Let the wheels of inquiry and ,hopefully, justice turn now and see where that gets us.

Had to pull off the motorway to cry listening to Peter speak about his mother. So ****n sad...heartwrenching.

What did he say the name of his book is, I thought I heard 'Achtung Babies'!!!

Why is Duffy being so rude to this man. Is he feeling challenged as he sees himself as the authority on dead children?

Great septic tanks around during the famine it seems.....

A blatant attempt to discredit the author there.
