The Annual Bessboro Commemoration: Sunday 28 June @2pm We come together to honour the women and children who died in Bessboro.Hundreds of children have no known burial place. Until they are acknowledged with truth, dignity, & respect, we will continue to speak their names & highlight their stories.
18,706 women, girls and children went through #Bessboro , many separated due to forced adoption and 923 children born there died.
No longer a number, each one named, each one unique #SayTheirNames #Bessboro #children #Irish
