Feel like this isn't the time for mocking callers telling the national broadcaster about their trauma.

Loads of posters would be the ones putting their daughters in these homes going on the ****e they're coming out with.

The greatest thing that is being ignored by all and sundry are the rapes.

The men who raped should still be prosectured IMO.

I'm guilty of making jibes about callers myself from time to time, though most of my jokes are about the host. But anyone making fun of the current caller really needs to take a hard look at themselves.

Absolutely.
Some people on here happy to make jokes about rape victims. Should be ashamed of themselves mocking this woman.

Stop trolling, Brian. Infractions will follow any more trolling posters on this thread.

You have to remember it was late 80s where the state took Virgin Megastore to court for selling condoms, farcical.

The state and church were hand in glove up into 1990s, my 30s.

I've probably said this before but thats why Fr Ted was such a hit. It came out 1994? I was 10 at the time, and it was the first time anyone ever said anything against the church. It might even have been the catalyst for the revolt of the church.

I love being flippant here and the craic but this story has a lump in my throat. These people’s stories must be heard.

"Somebody I used to know" about her baby is a killer line.

Duffy wasted 40 minutes on a rambling gobdaw yesterday when knowing the show was going to be devoted to the issue and that there's a line of women with real stories that show us the actual sh1ttiness of what happened.

I remember my mother being iffy about me wearing an AIDS awareness tee-shirt and the parish priest of Beechwood staring at it. I said to her, "you like me coming along to church with you...if I do I wear this".

My grandmothers sister had a daughter out of wedlock, she was brought up as a sister of my grandmother.. My grandmothers sister later married the man who fathered the child after emigrating to the states, the daughter joined them there in the end, and then irony of irony she ended up joining the nuns there and lived well into her 90s... different times

Up until 1984 you needed a prescription to buy condoms in Ireland.

Absolutely, and as an unmarried person you simply would not involve your GP in anything to do with sexuality. The entire state & society was anti-sex unless married.

Lads while this might not be what we are used to or want to be listening too. Fair play to Joe and RTE for giving these women an opportunity to tell their stories.

Although I'd still say the aul ones are still saving the pennies to throw in collection baskets as soon as mass gets the green light.

Ger spoke well in fairness.

Apart from trying to blame de Eternally Innocent Men Of Ireland.

I used to visit a hospital which took care of lots of people with AIDS, it was unreal. They were kept apart from other patients, of course it was not fully known how casually contagious they might be. But the screaming from the dying men was absolutely awful to hear. There were wonderful people I knew who made volunteer visits to these people.

Roger_007

Joe sound so creepy when he puts on his ultra sympathetic voice!

In 1970 my mother went to Africa. She went to the Doctor to ask about shots or anything she needed. The Doctor while puffing on his cigarette said "There are just two things you need for a trip like that, a good camera and a decent contraceptive". She went "Er, its not that kind of trip".

One of the witness reports describes how a 24 year old woman contacted her GP to discuss what was happening her body (she was pregnant, but didn't know).
The GP then called up a priest for advice, and the woman was sent to one of the homes.

When it is mentioned that society was complicit, remember this.
It was all the authorities; medical profession, police, teachers, the state, and all under control of the RCC.

The assumption that society just means people's neighbours is pure gaslighting.
