Mick Clifford: State's barriers to redress for Dunderrow woman 'continuing under a different guise'

Two redress schemes were set up to compensate them for the failure of the State to protect their childhoods. Both determined they didn’t qualify for redress for the crimes.

The case of the Dunderrow women that has been in the news recently is a perfect example of the cover-up in plain sight.

The most effective cover-ups are done in plain sight. No subterfuge is required. There is no need to lie or deny. Everything is conducted as if the law is being rigorously applied while, in reality, it is being used as a weapon. 

And then, when somebody has to answer for what’s going on, they can plausibly claim ignorance.
