Bethany survivors still ‘abused’

The Bethany Home survivors, and people of minority religious groups, are still being ‘abused’. Their ‘crime’ was to be born out of wedlock.

Government ministers have exploited the issue, making public statements to the media that they would right this great wrong — just in case anyone had idea that they were neglecting us — but within hours it would be quickly back to square one.

After the Bethany survivors memorial was unveiled, Sinn Féin TD, Mary Lou MacDonald, on April 3, 2014, addressed the issue in the Dáil.
