When the final report of the Commission of investigation into Mother and Baby Homes was published in 2020 it caused an outcry, because of its assessment that those who bore the greatest responsibility for the horror and cruelty experienced by so many women and their children were not officials of the Catholic Church and the state, but the women's families instead.

She [Clair's mother] has built her sense of herself through these stories and at this stage - she's over ninety... questions aren't helpful. I ask them anyway, my sceptical, disenchanting questions. I go further and I actually check facts... Sometimes I come back to her with evidence that proves that what she remembers or what she heard can't have happened that way. She is never pleased about this. Yet she keeps feeding me stories.

'Stand By Me' is the only song with its own fan club. It's true. There's a whole group of people who scour the world for different versions of the song and have meetings where they play newly discovered versions, discuss the lyrics and drink a toast to Ben E. King.

Book #18 of 2025: “Clare Folk Tales” from Ruth Marshall

It‘s nice to have an easy, fun book every now and then! I liked this little collection of folk tales specifically about County Clare in Ireland. It‘s very well researched but without being academic.

Seems like a good day to read about women fighting for social justice and the future of Ireland 🇮🇪 #BooksAndBooze

This is a haunting, lyrical story set on the Irish Kerry cliffs. Micheál, a reluctant guardian of a suicide blackspot, inherits his late mother‘s grim duty of watching and intervening when he can.
Torn between family estrangement, personal grief, and the suffocating pull of home, Micheál‘s silence speaks volumes. I‘ll be thinking of this for a while.
