Bethany Home survivors vow to take case to UN

Survivors of the Bethany Home have vowed to take their case to the UN following the Government’s decision not compensate its former residents.

Late last week, ageing survivors of the former residential institution in Rathgar, Dublin, were left devastated after the Government decided there was no basis for redress or issuance of an apology.

However, Derek Leinster, who heads The Bethany Survivors Group, said former residents would be holding talks with their legal representatives next month when they will consider taking their case to the UN.
