Must Read! September 13, 2005

I had an auntie that was sent to one of these industrial schools that was mentioned in Dundalk around 1945/6. She only saw her father a few times and my mum would go and visit frequently, then they moved. I feel sick to the stomach that she obviously would have suffered as the rest of these unfortunate people did. This book is so well written, once you pick it up, you really cant put it down. The research that has been done is fantastic. I think it is right that the public get to know what went off by these animals that worked for god. I cant believe they looked down at these innocent children, they should be hung.
Another great read. February 17, 2005

This is another book that is a must have read. Shocked me just as much as Fear of the collar did as well. Im just shocked that this was all happening behind closed doors and the likes of these people were allowed to get away with it. They are a disgrace to man kind.
God Bless all those that suffered at the hands of these wicked people.

Suffer the Little Children: Very well researched with numerous personal accounts from former inmates of the Irish industrial school system. This book shows the startling level of physical and sexual abuse, starvation and neglect suffered by Irish children at the hands of the Catholic Church and the lack of protection offered by the government. Persuasive excuses offered by the system are carefully examined, one-by-one and are, through extensive research, exposed as misconceptions and myths. Well worth reading especially for those interested in Irish affairs, human rights or both.
