GOLDENBRIDGE 15TH MARCH 2005

Goldenbridge Orphanage and the Ryan Commission 15,16th March
In 1996 ? the documentary ?Dear Daughter? was broadcast. In it, it was claimed children from Goldenbridge Industrial School were subject to terror and cruelty that destroyed their lives. The Sister of Mercy who managed the home at the time, Sr Xaveria Lally, was accused of act of unspeakable cruelty.
Among the allegations:-
Children dressed in rags.
Babies strapped to potties for so long, their rectums prolapsed.
Forced to drink water from an outdoor toilet (bawl!)
Forced to work in a ?Rosary Beads? factory for hours, until their fingers bled.
A girl thrown into a furnace for three days.
Identified by serial numbers ? to deprive them of their identities.
Many more allegations were made each one more horrific than the last. While we can?t speak for all of them we can certainly rely on the Ryan Commission to deal with some of the more major ones.
Goldenbridge ? Ryan Commission to inquire into Child Abuse. Tuesday 15th, Wednesday 16th March at 10:30 am.
