Bessborough’s Forgotten Children Demand Remembrance

Hundreds gathered in Bessborough, Cork, to honor 923 children and 31 women who died at the mother and baby home between 1922 and 1998—many with no known graves.

The land, they say, holds the truth of thousands lost, and protecting it is a moral imperative, not a political debate. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
