A Magdalene Rose: Redress and the unspoken dead III

In my latest Podcast from 'A Magdalene Rose' series, I come full circle in my discussion about the Irish Republic's Redress scheme for Mother and Baby Homes. I believe that at the heart of this scheme, not only does the scheme fail the living, but also of all those women and children who died before the State Apology at the beginning of 2021. The behaviour of the ruling parties was laid bare for all to see, which was contrasted by the passion and compassion of the opposition parties during the recent debate in the Oireachtas. Recent comments and decisions of the government provided a timely glimpse into the decision-making processes of the government which has greatly affected how this scheme was constructed. I take the listener back to the formation of the State and the inheritors of the actions of their political heroes. One thing is for certain, the government has completely kicked the can down the road in time for the next inheritors of their actions and decisions; and so Ireland's political impotence continues. It is clear that insofar as this Redress scheme for Mother and Baby Home Institutions are concerned, this is not the last word; all I hear are the determined voices of the living and the memories of those who have gone before us, who still cry out for Justice.
