We need to fight for the truth about Bethany survivors

WILL there be truth now, or will we go on hiding?

As the memorial stone in Mount Jerome to the 221 babies and young children who died mostly of neglect at the Bethany Home, Rathgar, from 1922 to 1949 is raised this week, that question remains.

Will we be forced to face our State’s complicity in these babies’ deaths when these babies have names and their names are incised in stone for all to see?
