Ireland's Child Care Institutions during the 20th. Century. Fo'T: The most vivid and passionate stories - banished babies, cruel orphanages, old abuses of power - have concerned things that went unnoticed, or at least unarticulated, at the time. News has often had to be redefined, not as the latest sensation but as that which everybody knew all along yet could not say.

The Witnesses
All the lost days
down the years
confined
in claustrophobic
dank
dismal
darkness
And the walls didn't speak
nor the windows watch
there were no ears
to listen
or eyes
to see
Yet
those walls
those windows
wept
Deaf
Mute
Blind
Witnesses
