Hi friends, happy almost St. Patty’s Day!
I’ll be honest with you… it’s hard to shock me anymore. So when I tell you that this story that I found SHOOK ME to my core… you know it’s for real. While I was looking into lesser-known Irish history, I kept reading about these things called the Magdalene Laundries. And while something like “laundry” seems innocent enough, this story is anything but that. These Catholic Church corruption-founded facilities destroyed the lives of countless women, and justice has yet to be served-even to this day.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

In 1989, my mother who had just turned 20 got pregnant. Her boyfriend at the time told his mother, who basically kidnapped my mother and took her to a laundry. She was luckily only there for a little while before she could find a phone and secretly call granny who came to get her in a blaze of fury. She was very lucky that she got out and could raise my sister and eventually the rest of her children. I appreciate you doing a video to raise awareness of this

I'm from Dublin, a few years back I worked a covid wars and one of the patients was an elderly lady- very funny and bubbly but had a faded tattoo of two pigs on her forearm. When I asked what the story behind the pigs were, she said each pig represented the nuns that abused her. She grew up in the asylum as an orphan, eventually got out in her early twenties only to find that 4 other girls in there turned out to be her sisters and they wouldn't figure that out for years to come.

I have lived in Ireland the bulk of my life. I went to a college in Limerick which was formerly named Limerick School of Art and Design. My college building was previously a Magdalene laundries. I remember working late at night in the library and developing such an erie feeling. The orphanage was directly beside the college and was connected by secret tunnels. There was a mass grave infront of my college of almost 200 women and children. I remember asking for documents to learn more from the library but these could only be viewed under supervision and not be removed from the premises. There is still a hush hush culture about this part of history. It truly is a devastating story.

My own grandmother gave me mam and her little brother up for adoption because she wasn't married and was terrified she would be sent to one of these homes. There's over 200 babies dead in a septic tanks at one of these home in Galway It was discovered years ago and still they are in this tank. Alot of babies are sold to American couples illegally. And religion is not everything anymore. Not since it was made known what was happening in the homes. And what happens to these babies and their mothers.

My husband's grandmother was a nun and she had been sent to the US to teach. Her parents died in a flu epidemic (not the Spanish flu, but later) and her youngest brother ran away because he was under 18 and he was terrified to be put in an orphanage, so the family asked her to come home and help find him. She notified the convent and they told her, "We're your family now." She said, "Yeah, no" and left the order and returned to Ireland. She did eventually return to the US and she was still staunchly Catholic until the end. 🤷‍♀

Hey Bailey! I went to college in a Magdalene laundry turned art college. The third floor was closed off as I sign of respect (where the women gave birth) and there was a door up there that was narrow enough to let the girls in when they were newly pregnant but that they wouldn’t be able to get out of once they were heavily pregnant. There was also a balcony in the church that was technically outside the church as the women were considered “sinners” and not allowed in the church and they had to sit there with their babies to “display their sin to the congregation”. Utterly horrific places!

Listening to this made me feel like how I did when I was hearing one of my elders talk about the Native American children being taken away from them to residential schools to be stripped from their cultures, long hair cut off, sexually assaulted, & told to speak English only. They also have mass graves behind A LOT of these places. Hundreds recently found this past year, so I’ve felt that grief too often & now im all emotional over these women who had to experience that horrible trauma to the very end.

Look up Kindred Spirits. It’s a sculpture in Cork, Ireland, a tribute to the Choctaw Nation. They donated $170, when they heard about the famine in Ireland - which would be equivalent to thousands today, when they themselves had just gone through the Trail of Tears 16 years before. During the pandemic, when it came out that Navajo Nation was especially affected, the Irish people donated $2.5 million. Some even posted money, when they couldn’t do it online. The Irish will always stand by our Native friends. We will always stand with the oppressed. We know all too well

Big irish fan here Bailey. My job involves working with a group of older women who were a product of this institutionalised system. They were sent to this Catholic institution because they were born to unmarried mothers or considered to have a disability of some sort. Some of them never saw their families again and they were also considered to have an intellectual disability, however I believe some of the wonderful kind ladies I work with never had intellectual disabilities, I feel as they were deprived of an education, surrounded by others who had severe disabilities and had no opportunity of a life within society they were at a huge disadvantage, and held back from having relationships, careers and any type of life experiences. This wonderful group of women are still cared for by this institution now renamed and moved away from the Catholic ties, they now live within the community and come to the retirement group where I am honoured and privileged to work with them, they all have such amazing stories and I have so much respect for what they went through. Despite all of this they are still so kind and amazing human beings. I love my job because of them and hope in their final years they are finding peace for the life that was dictated to them by Catholicism.

She was there to have her baby (my mum) and after 6 weeks they were separated for nearly 2 years. My nana had to fight to get her baby back and all because she was r*ped and not married!!! During those 2 years of separation, my nana got married and wrote to the nuns not to put her baby up for adoption as she could now provide a stable home. We are still waiting on an apology and justice, such a shame that my nana is no longer with us to even see it when it does happen.

They were as bad as the asylums over here in the US. I’m still surprised that my great grandmother wasn’t sent to an asylum for her epilepsy, as that was one of the ways that you could be entered into an asylum at the time.

I really hope you see this Bailey!! I am from a small town in Kentucky where community is everything. We have our traditions and customs! A few years ago I think in 2018 (Don’t quote me on that) a woman by the name of Samantha Sperry went missing suddenly. Her story isn’t very known outside of Kentucky, and it has pretty much gone cold. I still look her name up every once in a while hoping that maybe she would be found somewhere safe. And I just really think her story deserves to be told to the whole world and maybe, just maybe it will help.

FYI. The "famine" was actually a genocide of the Irish people by the British. They wouldn't have starved if their crops weren't taken from them.

Thank you for pointing this out! Was searching for a comment that corrected the ‘Potato Famine’ statement, a story that the whole world was told to cover up the oppression of the Irish at that time

This episode is scarily similar to the Indigenous schools that were found in Canada, also the Catholic church if i remember correctly. Love the way you tell history Bailey! Keep being the amazing soul that you are!

Thankfully though they have not found any actual bodies buried at the schools. I'm sure the schools were terrible but the story of the unmarked graves is not quite what it seemed to be when it first came out.

My continuous thought while watching this is exactly that. If the Catholic Church can treat white women in this despicable manner, the atrocities that indigenous people experienced are insurmountable.

a distant relative (woman) of mine, had a baby out of wedlock. the day she delivered the baby, her child was ripped out of her arms, and "sent away" without her consent. The mother was then (again without her consent) was send to live in a place that sounds like this, (asylum) because she was not "emotionally well" (after being ripped apart from her newborn!!) . Eventually years down the road the mom and baby (an adult now) got reconnected . so sad what many woman have gone through, still go through .

I know a woman whose mother was sent to a “Mother and Baby Home” in the early 60’s when she got pregnant at 16. She was forced to give up her daughter for adoption. This was in in the U.S. It’s important to remember that this happened in our country too. It’s incredibly shameful and horrible what these women (and their children) went through.
