Between 1922 and 1998, over 80,000 unmarried mothers were incarcerated in church-run mother and baby homes. Tomorrow night, new documentary Stolen explores the heartbreaking stories of these women and their families. Stolen, Monday 9.35pm | @rteplayer #rtestolen

This is deeply concerning. Affected people (especially older people) should not have to go to the media to get their applications finalised.

MARASMUS. In Tuam, babies for whom the nuns received allowances died of hunger, of severe malnutrition. #Stolen

People rage at #stolen and rightly so but this has been said over and over again. For years. The redress scheme should have people on the streets but it doesn't.

1/2 #MotherAndBabyHomes 💔 From 1930 to 1970 the mortality rates were markedly higher in the institution compared with the national rates. The national infant mortality (number of infant deaths aged under 1 year per 1,000 live births) in Ireland decade-on-decade was:

The drive for representative diversity in the film business has completely ignored people from working class backgrounds. Many other minority groups are targeted for support and inclusion (with varying success) but if you’re “just” working class, forget about it. It’s shameful.
