Bethany Homes survivors are being denied their basic human rights

One has only to say Tuam babies and everyone reacts across the world, yet the politicians have known about what happened in these mother and baby homes for 44 years.

Personally, I do not believe that the children were buried at that septic tank site but I do know that 227 children from the Bethany Home were all buried in unmarked paupers’ graves; no different than being buried in a cesspit and it makes me feel sick when I think about it as that was where they was planning to put me in 1944.

I was at Bethany Home and so ill that year that that’s where all believed that I’d end up.
