People affected by Mother and Baby homes invited to share experience

Noelle Brown survivor of the Bessborough home will also be present

People across the Shannonside Northern Sound region affected by the Mother and Baby Homes institutions are being invited to share their experiences in confidence.

As part of the LIVE Network, journalist and author of Republic of Shame, Caelainn Hogan and Noelle Brown survivor of the Bessborough home will visit Roscommon, Longford and Cavan to offer advice and a space for people to speak about the effects of the institutions on their lives.

While sessions are confidential, there will also be an opportunity for people to have their experience form part of a limited series podcast, if participants wish.
