I really did believe there would be a full criminal investigation when I broke the story of Tuam. But no, I’ve learned the hard way, that hiding things is what this state, agencies, regulators etc do. Particularly when it comes to the vulnerable.

My nan Mai. Died at 94. Reared 13 children on her own, a writer & poet & very hard worker. Was under pressure by the church as a lone parent but shut the door in their face. Took 2 women out of a Magdalene laundry & forgave most people. Hero ❤️
