## Resource

Survivors of the Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork are ready to chain themselves to construction equipment to stop a planned 140-apartment development on the site, after Cork City Council’s approval was appealed. Over 900 children died there between 1922 and 1998, with hundreds more unaccounted for — and no thorough search has ever been done. At a memorial attended by 250+ people, survivors vowed to protect the land, calling it a sacred resting place holding the truth of their lost loved ones. The appeal’s decision looms for July 9th — and they’re prepared to fight to the end. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
