We are holding our porcelain craft exhibition on Wednesday the 16th Sept. Details below. All are welcome. Survivors and family members will share their experience of working with clay to tell the story of incarceration and loss. We look forward to sharing with you.

Contrary to politicians & media reports, there's been a continuous ongoing narrative that there are 859 #Bessborough children that haven't been found.
If we're going to pursue remembering these infants, we need to be factual.
It is in fact, 858. 65 children have been found.

On this day in 2022, I started @Project_Infant, it's come on leaps and bounds from when it began. On the website itself it's been a little quiet, but behind the scenes there is plenty going on and will eventually upload!
Thank you to those who have supported me along the way! ❤️

If the @DeptCDE genuinely wanted feedback they’d have sent this to anyone who’s had the misfortune of having to use it.
Anyone who has used #Birthinfo should do this survey.

In light of the release of the #1926Census, we're currently working on adding enhanced transcripts of the 1901, 1911 and 1926 censuses for various institutions in Ireland.
You can view the ones we have so far (with more on the way) here: projectinfant.ie/census

A phenomenal interview @danielmloftus 👏
Well done also to @pjcoogan for highlighting Daniel’s tireless work
Daniel traced my paternal siblings who I am now in regular contact with.
I’m so grateful to Daniel & @Project_Infant for all the work they do

It is despicable to take the credit for the work of the volunteers.
Those volunteers diligently trawled through the records to create the boards with the names of the #Bessboro missing babies.

I don’t intend to create squabbles but I can’t let the work of my volunteers at @Project_Infant not be highlighted. Only for them would those boards (and extra 74 names) have been found and created. Please give credit where credit is due.

I think the hardest part of this venture (and being in the area of advocacy in general) was the feeling of hope, the feeling that some form of change might happen.
And then it's extinguished like a flame...
#Bessborough needs an investigation.

In October 2025 I on behalf of myself & @danielmloftus met with @FergalDennehy & @McGrathSeamus with a proposal for an independent investigation of the remaining 60 acres at #Bessborough
Our stance has always been about finding the missing babies.
