425 - Ireland's True Houses of Horror
Timesuck with Dan Cummins
The Dark Side of Irish History
This chapter explores the troubling impact of the Catholic Church on the treatment of women and children in Ireland, revealing a stark contrast to the romanticized views of Irish culture. It highlights the historical neglect and abuse faced by vulnerable populations, particularly focusing on child welfare and the horrific conditions in institutions like Magdalene laundries and orphanages. Through a blend of historical context and personal reflection, the speaker calls for a confrontation with these injustices rather than a celebration of a flawed heritage.
