Yesterday's hearing dealt with the historical background to residential institutions in Ireland, with Dr Eoin O'Sullivan of the Social Studies Department at Trinity College Dublin tracing their evolution from 1750.These were regulated under the Reformatories Act of 1858 and the Industrial Schools Act of 1868.
...
Detailed reports on the schools were conducted prior to independence, after which such reports/and commentary were scant up to the 1960s, Dr O'Sullivan said.Between 1911 and 1960, 43,500 children had been in such institutions in Ireland (26-county area).Reflecting on the comparatively high number of Irish people institutionalised since Independence, he quoted from the 1956 census for the Republic.
It showed that while there were 574 in prison, there were 5,385 children in industrial schools, 103 unmarried mothers institutionalised for having a first baby, as "first offenders", and a further 517 "repeat offender" unmarried mothers in other institutions.In both latter cases the women served two years "penance"- the practice but not the law - before release, Dr O'Sullivan said.
...
Dr O'Sullivan recalled the visit to Ireland of Father Flanagan, of Boystown, Nebraska, in 1946 and his description of the residential institutions for children as "Ireland's concentration camps".
