THREAD: If you have seen the film Philomena you will remember the devastating moment when it becomes clear that the nuns knew but kept the son, played by @stevecoogan65 from tracing his Mother.

This is what the Irish State is about to do, to all the separated & sold babies 1/4 https://twitter.com/Ka_ODonnell/status/1315735111468544000">https://twitter.com/Ka_ODonne...

You see, the disdain and contempt for the most vulnerable women and children never went away. In a move so ruthless and cynical that it is breath-taking, the State want to bury these files and effectively pour cement on them until....wait for it....the survivors have died.2/4

There& #39;s no other possible motive for sealing these files for 30 years. And our very own Minister for Children, @rodericogorman will oversee this human rights violation and miscarriage of justice. Those Mothers & their babies were tortured by the State, the damage irreparable.3/4

..all they have left is the truth, their names, their stories.
If this goes ahead, no one will be able to access their personal records from the Minister& #39;s archive. The Oireachtas must legislate to & #39;unseal& #39; the whole archive now. Time to stop the continuum of abuse. 4/4
