9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

For many years I have been talking about burials at Bessboro not being in one particular area &this was because I spoke to people with first hand testimony of what they saw on the grounds of Bessboro.PatMulcahy was one of those witnesses.Please read the article below: www.echolive.ie/corknews/ari...

I am shocked and disappointed with this decision by An Coimisiún Pleanála to uphold this planning permission on such a sensitive site. This Government continues to fail to put people first, and it is simply not acceptable. I stand with all the families, survivors, & everyone standing against this.

Keeping up our campaign to highlight a development has been granted permission on Bessboro grounds, a site that holds the trauma & memories by so many that went through Bessboro. We read the names, omitting surnames from the 70’s. www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

Names of Bessborough children read aloud as campaigners vow to fight on against development plan
Of 923 children, burial records exist for only 64, meaning the final resting place of 859 children is unknown

My heart is broken just about every time I leave my own little pocket of wild. The tree and hedge carnage seems worse than it has ever been. On my road to Tralee, multiple, mature roadside trees have either been severed or ripped apart by a flail. It's like a war on trees. Does policy support this?

1/2 Please support @carmelcantwell.bsky.social and the Bessboro Support Group, at their vigil on 8th March at 1pm in protest at the Cork City Council decision to grant planning permission for development of the Bessboro site.
Poster with details of Bessboro Vigil, Sunday 8th March at 1pm
The text reads as follows:
The Bessboro Mother & Baby 'home' Support Group are protesting against the development of 140 apartments at Bessborough which has been granted permission by Cork City Council Planning.

If this development goes ahead, it will set a precedent and is likely to lead to further larger developments in the grounds of Bessborough getting planning permission also, which will change the landscape of the whole area.
923 children born in Bessboro died and the burial places of
859 of them are not recorded, but the majority are likely to be buried on the grounds
The remaining undeveloped 60 acres of the Bessborough estate should be preserved as a National Site of Conscience to remember and honour all those that died, as well as the 18,706 women and children that were incarcerated here.
They were forgotten for so long!
In addition to being a place of remembrance, the 60 acre site would be an invaluable amenity for the local community.
We will be appealing the planning decision.

After many years of fighting by advocates, survivors with plenty of appeals - the planning permission for development at Bessborough has been approved. We still do not know the burial place of over 850 children who died. Yet, #Bessborough will be built on. www.irishexaminer.com/property/dev...

Decision 2 years overdue for the 2 planning applications on the grounds of #Bessboro has been refused. Not to do with the historical nature of the property but because of the scale & mix of the development. WE ARE DELIGHTED. #SaveBessboro

The 17 named below died in #Bessboro, this contradicts the findings of the Commission in relation to this plot! There is no headstone, no maintenance of the plot & therefore until now they were the #ForgottenDead.

Don’t you think this field looks suspicious ?? A 10 year old in 1947 came across an open grave of 3 to 4 babies in this area at #Bessboro & was chased off. In his 80’s he contacted #CatherineCorless to pass this info on. I met him & he described what happened. The TRUTH matters. #MotherAndBabyHomes

When my 82yr old mother was 17 she was sent to #Bessboro. It was a cruel harsh place where she nearly died & her baby boy did. Her sorry from the govt is £8,000 but she must sign a waiver for it. She won’t, the waiver is an insult.This govt have treated survivors deplorably #GE24 #MotherAndBabyHomes
