Persecution is happening. The Nuns who were trying to help at the Tuam home are being scapegoated and lied about and now even church going Catholics are sucked into this false narrative. In reality the local Galway County Council were responsible for that home. It was originally a workhouse and whole families of destitute people were placed there at the behest of the Council. The Nuns tried to look after the babies. Up to the 60's they didn't even have running water. The council's own reports note the constant requests from the Nuns for investment in improving the conditions for the residents and to prevent cross infections. They didn't even have an isolation room. This is all being orchestrated as a stick to attack the church Catherine Corless the author of this so called history has a lot to answer for.
Yes BC. Or it could have something to do with diverting from the hate speech legislation that they have been proposing to introduce the past while, which is very controversial and has been met with much opposition. Perhaps they are trying to divert attention from that.
