Redacted Lives is a podcast series that tells the real story of mother and baby homes; from what happened within; to how the State continues to deny survivors access to information, proper redress and ownership of their true stories. it’s a harrowing listen but brilliantly done.

It’s very good very detailed and researched well. I enjoyed it. Those brave women still getting no answers and their feelings not being validated. Makes me sick
Heard a story about a nurse who was refused keys for a cabinet where sutures were kept, after a mother who had just given birth was left with a torn perineum. Incredible the lack of care shown in some cases. The nurse published one of the first books to raise how people were treated.
