Former residents of Protestant home seek redress

FORMER residents of a Protestant home for children and “fallen women” have reiterated calls for their abuse to be recognised under the government’s Redress scheme.

The call comes following the discovery of a children’s grave at the Bethany Home in Dublin, where former residents hope to erect a memorial.

The Bethany Home was set up in 1922 and was run by an interdenominational committee from various Protestant churches.
