Northern Ireland Babies

[jennyjoan]

Was there a programme on earlier on the week regarding babies taken from their mothers in Northern Ireland. What channel please,

I've tried a couple of times this evening to track down a relevant programme but without success. Perhaps you're thinking of this news coverage?

I think it was a report on one of the main news bulletins, jenny

oh ok - thanks - I did watch that Magdalene sisters programme a few times and again documentaries with very upsetting scenarios with the victims themselves who are old ladies now - what they went through was awful. That was the south of Ireland. Quite a lot of them like one lady lost 3 children and that was harrowing listening to her story.

Just wasn't the south though was it - happened in the North too.
Sadly there was and still is to a certain extent in NI a lot of dislike of other cultures and religions

yes Red - of course it happened in the north but was never documented - the southern programmes was so sad.
