Bishop of Cloyne: Let’s hear truth about Bessborough

The true picture of what happened in Bessborough Mother and Baby Home in Cork may be difficult to hear but it needs to come out, the Bishop of Cloyne, William Crean said yesterday.

In an interview with Cork’s Red FM, Dr Crean said the story of what happened at the home should be told.

“This is part of our national story in the 20th century. It is only unfolding slowly. The truth may be very difficult. But it is best we have the truth in relation to it,” he said.
