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

Maybe I misheard, but if has written a book on the Tuam babies and called it 'Achtung Babies', then he deserves to be put in public stocks and given no mercy.

I tend to listen on the podcast and look up the comments here, reading and listening on the way home. I can normally tell how good  de Lahvlahne was by the number of pages on here. Anything less than twenty usually points to a poor offering. Today? 4.5 pages. Complete muck. Hopefully he will give it up soon. I am always listening in the hope that that Dutch hippie supporter of Ming Flanagan, who had his homegrown weed stolen by travellers, phones back in.

I was listening in the car yesterday and couldn't post.
The lady that was on looking for her twin babies that were born in St. Finbarrs hospital in Cork mentioned that she wondered if they had been buried in someone else's coffin. Well, I remember a few years ago that a man who had worked for an undertakers in Cork told a local radio station that he would regularly be given a dead baby when he went to collect a dead adult from the hospital, the baby was to be put into the adult coffin and both would be buried together. This would be done without the knowledge of the dead persons family, I think she referred to it as "Piggybacking" or something. Perhaps this might explain where a lot of "Missing" babies ended up? I don't expect there to be any official record of this, and as such would be impossible to establish where the babies would have ended up, its just so sad.

Will any government officials face the law as to how the dodgy cash for babies adoptions of the time were being facilitated?

Nope. Most are retired and/or dead.

Michael Woods, the Minister who made the dodgy deal wit hthe Church to limit their liability to £100 million is sitting at home sucking on a fat pension, which is fairly indicative of how things work out here.

While serving as Minister for Education, Woods signed a controversial agreement with 18 Irish religious orders involved in child sex-abuse scandals which limited their compensation liability to the victims of abuse to only €128 million. This compensation scheme is projected to eventually cost the Irish government €1.35 billion. The agreement was signed just before the 2002 general election, and consequently was not laid before the cabinet for its approval. It then remained unpublished for several months.

In 2003, after brokering the deal, Woods claimed his strong Catholic faith made him the most suitable person to negotiate the deal.[4] He also denied allegations that he was a member of Opus Dei or the Knights of Saint Columbanus after the group Survivors of Child Abuse alleged he was a member of the former.[4]

After the publication of the report of the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse (CICA), Woods defended the deal; he claimed the Department of Education and Science had the management role in the schools in question and that the state knew all the details when making the deal.[5] Mary Raftery criticised his remarks, pointing out that some of them contradicted remarks made by Woods himself.[5]

I see the TD's are committed to the cause. This is a fcuking joke. No doubt Duffy will have a go at them from the pulpit today.

Friday is a bad choice of day for the debate, most TD's go for after "work" drinks so to speak of a Thursday.

That was yesterday afternoon. They've all got time to rant on local radio about this but don't have the time to show a bit of Solidarity in the Dail for one debate.

Pathetic really.

Sister Therese you can fook right off if you stood by in your order and let women and children be treated like that. You are just as evil as their families by standing by.
