2,000 Irish children were illegally adopted in US from Magdalene Laundries

Robin priests have been found guilty you seem to mitigate this using the "accused of abusing" phrase. To attack the pubs and use them as a crutch to assuage the guilt of those responsible for the excesses of errant nuns and priests is outlandish and irresponsible. The vast majority of drinkers are socialably responsible peopel.Your post lacks merit.

I am well aware of they system and how it works I found I had a sister at 60 years of age living in Australia. They were "Exported from England" during the 50's and the early 60's. Seamus are you condoning these practises where young girls and boys were raped and treated like slaves and you say "well looked after" or do I misread your post.

A few years ago I watched a movie on one very much like this. They were taken from families and put in an home. It was a very long movie, sad in the end one of the children became a nun. To end my post seamus you are not waiting for your post to come up. or are you posting more then once

Seano. How it worked was . when a young lady got pregnant outside of wedlock or under age, the local priest would visit the home and give the girls parents the whole drill about the shame that would be apon them once the pregnancy began to show. Much better to have the daughter and shame out of sight, in a place where she would be well looked after and the prospects for the child should the parents decide they preferred the daughter back on her own. As a result many of the young girls were told their babies died at birth, not an uncommon practice by the church when we look at what they done in countries like spain as well. Auatralia was another great host country to these children where many were used as slave labour to the christian brothers who did`nt even afford the children an education.

I would like to see Daithaic's proof that the vast magority of the people approved of the laundries or had no social conscience. I lived In Ireland and like most people wer unaware of the situation. Maybe the press colluded with the church,the gardai and some politicians to keep us ignorant of events. It certainly was the "modus operandi" of the failed catholic church. Some of whom will burn in hell for their digusting behaviour toward the young children(boys and girls)of Ireland.A plague on the religious hypocrites and those posters on this site who give them succour.

Culchiewoman. So it was a conveyor belt set up.

These baby stealing prisons were just as active in the North.

Paul Hogan: I have heard this story before. Murdered Irish Journalist Veronica Guerin said she talked to an elderly woman on an Aer Lingus flight in the mid-1990s who told her that when she was an Aer Lingus air hostess in the 1960s, she was used to taking care of babies sent across to the U.S. for adoption. Unfortunately, Veronica was unable to investigate the matter further as she was murdered by drug barons a short time after. However, another Irish writer (whose name I can't remember) wrote a book called "Stolen Babies".

comments by daithaic make sense; maybe this is mostly about lawyers on the prowl for a big share of a good payout...

daithaic: highly cogent commentary. As suggested by another poster, this may be mostly a field trip of lawyers hunting for a pile of cash upon which to pounce...
