Bethany survivors proud of Dublin

I want to pay tribute to Dublin City Council, for backing the Bethany Survivors’ Group, and for saying that the State should apologise to, and compensate, Bethany victims.

Dublin City Council has made me proud of the city where I was born. There are no words to describe what such support means to people like me, and to others who are from the Bethany Home.

The Bethany Home is an institution which the State has now forgotten for the past 15 years. While I was born into very deprived circumstances, such support makes people like me feel a little better.
