HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE attended a vigil last night in remembrance of babies and mothers who died in mother and baby homes across the country.
Crowds marched from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs to the gates of the Dáil.
The vigil was organised by Justice for the Tuam Babies.
Items such as teddy bears and children’s shoes were attached to the railings outside the Dáil to memory of those who died in the homes.
Song and poetry was performed byBrian Kennedy, Don Baker, Liam O’Maonlaí and Karen Casey.
Remembrance events were also held in other parts of the country last night.
Galway Pro-Choice also held a vigil in the children’s playground in Eyre Square in Galway as a mark of respect for the babies and children that died at the mother and baby home in Tuam, County Galway last night.
Rachel Donnelly of Galway Pro-Choice said they are demanding sincere apologies from the Catholic Church and the Irish State.
“As a society, Ireland must learn from the history of our past and translate that into our treatment of women and children in the present day, especially those in institutional care. We call for the complete and immediate separation of Church and State, above all in our health system,” she said.

Here’s a quick fix for Greece, get your people to pay some f’n taxes….
Makes for bleak reading especially if you are Greek.
Greeces problems are a sideshow in this debacle and Greece has has become the whipping boy for economic problems that span all of Europe.
If Greece alone was the problem the EU/ECB could quite easily manage.
The problem is excessive sovereign debt across Europe and the insolvency of the European banking system.

This is all wrong, Ireland and Greece should both have defaulted at the beginning. What happened in Ireland is now happening on a larger scale in the EU, those guys have as much a clue what they’re doing as Bertie and co did.
Iceland did it right.
Whats happening about the previous gov who cooked the books
Civil war in Greece before 2020.
