We had a further 2 house visits at the time, a pyschiatrist recommended that my brother (who sexually abused 4 of my siblings and myself) but who would end up with 10 different abuse allegations against him was a danger to the community and the psychiatrist ordered he be placed in a remand school, yet no one seemed to think about our danger?
At this time, I was pregnant, my four siblings were all below the age of 8, two of them only babies, the four of these siblings could have been spared being abused, three of them are now dead. Noleen's life could have been saved, and I would not have had to witness her murder or go on to become pregnant again.
My brother came out of the institution he was placed in, and carried on abusing all 5 of us, in the Inquest older sisters said they knew about this, that they openly discussed it with my mother (she told them our brother was abusing the younger children) and STILL no one helped us.
From 1955 to 1980, 10 children from my family home went to Loreto Abbey in Dalkey, all 10 of us, were lice ridden, filthy, smelled and displayed severe behaviour symptons, we hardly ever turned up at school, regularly fell asleep in class, and all struggled to learn.
My older siblings ran away often, went missing for weeks on end, were in regular trouble with the police and STILL no one saved us.
