Coming Full Circle in Ireland
It was during a visit to Ballinasloe, many years ago, that I first heard about Irish Industrial Schools. My curiousity led me to researching these institutions, and eventually writing The House Children.
On January 3rd, I spoke about my research behind The House Children in the Ballinsloe Library, which was once the convent that housed the Sisters of Mercy who ran St. Joseph’s Industrial School.
In attendance was a group of Tuam Survivors that I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to after the event.
