The state is exhuming Tuam, the Bessboro forensic investigation report done by the Commission was the only 1 of the Mother & Baby Hones to be sealed. There was always a push back against investigating Bessboro. Once in the States ownership it’d be a state investigation, not an independent 1

5/5 The state have never wanted to pursue an Investigation. A #CPO will destroy any chance of an #IndependantInvestigation Finding the #MissingBabies must be paramount A memorial park is not #Justice, IMO it is an unwelcome compromise #Bessboro #Bessborough

4/5 Hypothetically I could’ve been in #Bessboro 3 times. As a survivor of Bessboro I believe the grounds should be Independently Investigated. Had I died there I would not want to be forgotten, a #CPO is important but not at the expense of those who are buried there.

3/5 I have absolutely no doubt that if that pregnancy had gone full term, my mother would’ve sent me to #Bessboro to give birth. When I became pregnant in my 20’s, unmarried, my mother refused to let me move home. She threatened to send me to Bessboro if I returned.

2/5 My mother knew my grandfather was abusing me. She facilitated it, was present in the room on 1 occasion. She locked me in my bedroom to miscarry alone. Left a terrified 12 year old who thought she was dying to suffer alone.

🧵1/5 My personal views on #Bessboro I was born there in the early 70’s.#Adopted by a loving father & a cruel mother. My adoptive grandfather was a #paedophile who sexually abused me from the age of 8 until I became pregnant at 12. I miscarried.

People seem to follow the majority unfortunately, the government have always been against investigating Bessboro grounds, makes no sense to push for state to own the land

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
To demand a CPO knowing that it will ultimately condemn the #MissingBabies to remain as the #ForgottenDead is a campaign that is not calling for #Justice
111
Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
3/4 The #ForensicReport of #Tuam & #SeanRoss are available in the Commissions Report. The #Bessboro 1 was the only 1 sealed for 30 years! What was so damning in the Commissions findings that warranted it to be hidden?
121
Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
2/4 Why was an #IndependentInvestigation never the primary aim of any campaign. The missing babies must be paramount in any #Bessboro narrative. The Commission of Investigations #ForensicReport of the Bessboro grounds was not made public, in fact it was sealed.
111
Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
1/4 A CPO of #Bessboro will ensure that the grounds are NEVER investigated! The government does not want to investigate, demanding a CPO of the remaining 60 acres knowing that the state will never allow an #InfependentInvestigation is denying the Missing Babies #Justice

4/4 Locating the missing babies must be paramount in any discussions with the Government. To lose sight of this is wrong, self serving & something I cannot & will not support. Do not let the voices who shout the loudest control the narrative of #Bessboro

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
3/4 I survived #Bessboro, the missing babies didn’t! I sometimes wish I didn’t survive, I struggle with my past every day but I survived. I want an #IndependentInvestigation of the remaining grounds, a CPO will delay this for years, denying the missing babies their #Justice

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
2/4 I endured a cruel childhood, my adoptive mother was cold & unloving. She had suffered the same childhood as I did yet she facilitated the #abuse I endured from my grandfather. #Bessboro is a place where I find solitude, the grounds hold the remains of the missing babies.
131
Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
🧵1/4 I was born in #Bessboro a #MotherandBabyHome in the 70’s. I am a direct survivor of these cruel ‘homes’. I am also a survivor of #CSA as I was adopted by a woman who had a #paedophile father. My grandfather was a ‘pillar of the community’, to me he was pure evil!

6/6 It is the the State’s responsibility to investigate #Bessboro, outsourcing it to developers is not acceptable. Give closure to all who who were in #Bessboro,those born there, the Birth Mothers, those who died there, those buried there! #MotherandBabyHomes
011
Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
5/6 The State refuse to investigate #Bessboro They refuse to honour the missing babies who were in the care of the State who are buried in the grounds. They deserve to at least be remembered, their brief lives honoured!

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
4/6 There are times when I wish I was 1 of those babies who died in #Bessboro My childhood almost destroyed me, I battle every day with my #Trauma If I had not survived #Bessboro no one would know I had even existed

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
3/6 was #sexuallyabused by him on every ‘visit’ for 4 years. I miscarried at the age of 12, my mother locked me in my bedroom to miscarry alone, petrified I was dying as I didn’t know what was happening to me. I wished I had never been born!

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
2/6 I have a 3rd degree burn on my arm from when my mother threw boiling soup at me for not eating it, I wasn’t hungry that day as it was the 1st time my grandfather had #raped me, I was 8 years old! I was brought to ‘visit’ my grandfather every week,

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
🧵1/6 I was born in #Bessboro in the early 70’s. A baby with dark hair & brown eyes had been ordered by a couple. I fit the bill. At 7 weeks old I was placed with the couple. My adoptive mother was a cold, unloving woman, I was bought to complete the ‘family’.

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
6/6 It is unacceptable that 761 babies who were in the care of the State don’t matter. They were human beings & albeit briefly, citizens of Ireland. They deserve to be found, honoured & given a proper burial. This is not #Justice #ForgottenDead

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
5/6 The proposal was to be presented to city councillors at their next meeting. This didn’t happen & despite numerous follow up emails I got no definitive answer as to whether the council would support the investigation.

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
4/6 The independent investigation of 60 acres was costed at €30k. It was proposed that the council would fund €10k as they were directly responsible for the running of #Bessborough I answered all their questions & both were surprised at the low cost evaluation
120
Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
3/6 Our proposal to the Lord Mayor & Seamus McGrath TD outlined inaccuracies between the Commission of Investigation report & the 5th Interim Report. It included a breakdown of the cost of an independent investigation & how it would be funded.
110
Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
2/6 Yes, the State should’ve preserved the remaining #Bessborough grounds, but once the council rezoned the land for residential development it was never going to be preserved by the state. The resting places of 761 babies that died in #Bessborough are unknown

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
🧵1/6 In October 2025 I on behalf of myself & @danielmloftus met with Lord Mayor Fergal Dennehy & Seamus McGrath TD & with a proposal for an independent investigation of the remaining 60 acres at #Bessborough Our stance has always been about finding the missing babies.

They posted apology on X even though they stated in January that they would no longer use their X account. No apology posted on BlueSky 🤷‍♀️. I’d be surprised if they do well in next GE, they’ve become quite insignificant

4/4 @HSESouthWest I offered to work with you to design a #TraumaInformed healthcare model yet you refused to engage. Research experts from @ucc.ie are no substitute for survivor input @bernardgloster.bsky.social

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
3/4 While a Psychologists input is vital it is doomed to cause more harm without #Survivor input. The reply from HSE South West never acknowledged my healthcare experiences. I sent a reply on 12th Dec.2025 & have yet to receive a response.

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
2/4 My podcasts outline the effect that #Trauma has on a patient when healthcare staff are uneducated in how to treat a #CSA Survivor. The reply I got to my email was dismissive, citing that HSE South West was trialing a Trauma Unformed Model designed by a Psychologist

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

4/4 If these podcasts help even 1 survivor of #CSA or #DomesticAbuse then all of this will have been worth it. If these podcasts help to change our #HealthCare system I will have helped save other survivors from being triggered when they are physically unwell

3/4 I’ve lost 2 stone in weight since these podcasts were recorded. I have been forcing myself to eat, battling to focus on everyday tasks, hugging myself to sleep at night. Hugging myself helps me to fight off my darkest memories when I feel so alone.

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 30/11/2025
2/4 Listening to myself telling my life story was so hard. I’d to listen to these podcasts a few times before they were edited & voice altered. The 1st time I listened I couldn’t believe that I was talking about my life, the #abuse, the poor choices I made

Teeny Timbre @timbre-breda.bsky.social · 30/11/2025
🧵1/4 The hardest part of recording these #podcasts was the aftermath. I’ve been very open about my experience of #CSA here but I rarely talk about my experience of #DomesticAbuse Part One — open.spotify.com/episode/2A6f... Part Two — open.spotify.com/episode/3T6i...

4/4 They caused untold personal harm to me. To breach someone’s trust & ‘out’ their identity is unforgivable. #DoNoHarm applies to peoples privacy.
