Fika dossiers en Vreemdelingenwetgeving; Guilty of being Aboriginal

Thousands of Stolen Generation Children, some just babies, have had their lives permanently affected after they were charged and given criminal records under state government policies that systematically deemed it a crime to be an Indigenous child “in need of protection”

For decades, Uncle Larry Walsh lived with a mystery. As a Taungurung man who was
taken from his family as a young child, there’s a lot he doesn’t know about his early years. But one thing seemed particularly strange.

Magdalene Sisters anno 2012 Michelle Martin en de oude klare Belgenmop van een eeuw. Kindermoord Da´s dankzij de Belgische justitie economisch gunstig voor de kloosters !!

Als het niet zo'n  sinister cynisme was zou je je hier toch werkelijk een breuk om kunnen lachen
De Belgenmop van de eeuw. Daar wordt de hele Magdalenen ellende anno 2012 nog 's een keer opgevoerd

Zelfs het stripboek ligt al klaar

Hier wordt wereldgeschiedenis geschreven!
Maar dan wel over de rug van de nabestaanden van de slachtoffers.
Wellicht zelfs de rug van naive nonnen en die Michelle Martin zelf, leve de advocatuur klus geklaard op naar de hypotheker


Nog effe, zal je nog zien ook dat het werk in Ierland verzet door de misbruik slachtoffers, de Magdalenes voorop,   gebruikt gaat worden in België tbv. van Michelle Martin. Door Amnesty International.

Ik wens je heel veel sterkte Colm!
En wanneer je vanaf de publieke tribune in het Europees Parlement krantengescheur hoort, dan weet je dat ik het ben. Ik zal een fles Oude Klare uit Schiedam in mijn tas hebben ter viering van de scheve schaatsen van een zooitje nonnen anno 2012!!
En een paar stevig pakken zakdoekjes.
En dát zullen, dankzij hele wijze mensen daar in Canada van de TRC  niet die van Vangheluwe zijn.

Want tijdens die debatten verzamelen we die zakdoekjes met die tranen héél zorgvuldig. 
Misschien is er dan tegen die tijd wel 'n Congoleese vrouw die leerde kantklossen tbv. de nonnen precies weet hoe we die gezamelijk het beste kunnen verbranden ! Of een Algerijnse.
Of gewoon een Belgische. Misschien wél die Sabine of die Laetitia.

Here me got, wat een sinistere waanzin.
En die o zo sociale schattebollelige nonnekes hebben dan zelfs op hun website nog staan ook dat ze daar zitten dankzij Combes ook...
Vroom?
Me neus.  Mensenhandel.
Gottegottegot, moge het de Belgenmop van de eeuw worden, hij is meer dan nodig!




 Justice for Magdalenes (JFM), the survivor advocacy group, has strongly welcomed the Fifth Report of the Special Rapporteur on Child Protection. In the report, Geoffrey Shannon has called for “acknowledgement, redress and accountability” for Magdalene Laundry survivors, whose treatment he described as “horrendous”, stating that it “constituted slavery”.


En als jij niet uitkijkt, kom je nog eens bij De Goede Herder terecht.
Ja  zuster.
Ik heb heel goed uitgekeken, reken maar.




Hoog tijd om naar Bloemendaal te gaan en dansend langs een beeld te lopen.
Wie weet groeien aan die voeten wel 'n paar hele jonge eikeboompjes.
Daar moet er dan maar 's eentje van verplant worden naar Driehuis.
En wanneer er over 100 jaar in Velp of in Almelo ook een giga eik staat wil ik dat mijn achterkleinkinderen er een gebrandschilderd bordje op timmeren: dit is een Belgenmop en er aardappels in een kist onder poten.
Met  anjers en  wat tulpenbolleletjes tussen wat galium odoratum 
En er dan bij een glas advocaat wat aardbeien gaan zitten eten . Met slagroom. 
Laat ze het niet in hun hersens halen om aan de Oude Klare te gaan !

State involvement in the Magdalene Laundries; Justice for Magdalenes One year after UN Recommendation Magdalene women are no closer to an apology or redress



24/5-2012 klik



(1) The State was involved in sending women and girls to the Magdalene Laundries and ensuring that they remained there. The State regarded the Magdalene Laundries as an opportunity to deal with various social problems (e.g. illegitimacy, poverty, disability, so-called licentious behaviour, domestic and sexual abuse, youth crime, infanticide). It repeatedly sought to funnel diverse populations of women and girls to the Magdalene Laundries
and in return the Religious Orders obtained an entirely unpaid and literally
captive workforce for their commercial laundry enterprises.

(2) The State also provided the Religious Orders with direct and indirect financial support – direct financial support from “capitation” (per head) grants for certain of the women and girls incarcerated in the Magdalene Laundries and indirect financial support in terms of valuable State contracts for cleaning laundry, as well as one-off non-contract commercial laundry work for various Irish Government departments and agencies and also State  capitation grants for other aspects of the relevant convents’ operations (e.g.Industrial Schools).
 
(3) The State entirely failed to supervise the Religious Orders’ operation of the Magdalene Laundries. It allowed women and girls to be incarcerated without any lawful authority and allowed them to be forced to work in servitude for no pay. It failed to enforce its own health and safety legislation, thereby allowing women and girls to work in dangerous working conditions. It failed to require girls of school-going age to be educated. It failed to ensure that social security contributions were paid in respect of women and girls in the Laundries and it failed to ensure that any woman or girl who died was issued with a death certificate.

Press Release 28th May 2012

 One year after UN Recommendation Magdalene women are no closer to an apology or redress
Justice for Magdalenes (JFM), the survivor advocacy group, is today submitting its NGO Follow Up Report to the United Nations Committee Against Torture (UNCAT) in Geneva, Switzerland. This one-year follow up process requires the Irish State to report back on measures taken to put last June’s recommendation on the Magdalene Laundries into effect (see copy of Recommendation below[Note 6]). JFM finds it unacceptable that 12 months later Magdalene survivors are still waiting for an apology, redress and reparation.



JFM will also present a courtesy copy of its Follow Up Report to Ms. Felice Gaer, Director of the Jacob Blaustein Institute for the Advancement of Human Rights and Vice-Chair of UNCAT at an event co-sponsored with the Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL) in Dublin on Monday afternoon (See events details below[Note 1] and please note advisory regarding Ms. Gaer’s attendance at the event in a private capacity [Note 3]).

JFM is delighted to help welcome Felice Gaer to Dublin and to thank her personally for her efforts last year in challenging the ”voluntary” nature of the Magdalene Laundries system, as asserted by the head of the Irish delegation in Geneva last May. (See link to YouTube clip below, Note 5.)

JFM’s Report welcomes the establishment of the Inter-departmental Committee to “clarify state interaction with the Magdalene Laundries.” Nevertheless, the Report points out the ways in which the Inter-departmental Committee does not satisfy the “prompt, thorough and independent” investigation called for by UNCAT. JFM has submitted over 1,500 pages of evidence of State interaction to the Committee. We look forward to the publication of Committee’s report, due by mid-2012.

Maeve O’Rourke, JFM Advisory Committee member, who represented JFM at UNCAT in Geneva and is speaking at today’s event said: “Our report states clearly that the government has failed to implement the UNCAT Recommendation, which called on the state to ensure that Magdalene survivors obtain redress and to establish an independent investigation into the full extent of the abuse. We acknowledge the important work of Senator McAleese’s Committee, however, it should not impede the women’s access to an apology and redress, and we also reserve the right to call for a fully independent inquiry with statutory powers to compel evidence.”

James M. Smith (Boston College and JFM Advisory Committee) said: “While JFM will continue to cooperate with the Interdepartmental Committee, we assert that there is ample evidence of state involvement with the Magdalene Laundries to warrant an apology, pensions and restoring lost wages to this group of aging and elderly women. They need help now while still alive to benefit from it.”

This week JFM will submit the first tranche of newly gathered survivor testimony to Senator McAleese, totalling 519 pages. Claire McGettrick (JFM Advisory Committee member) said: “In the testimonies already gathered, all survivors told us that they could not leave the laundries, that the doors were locked and the windows inaccessible. If they did try to leave they were returned by the Gardaí, while others decided not to try to escape because they knew the same fate awaited them. They all told us they could not complain, in most cases they remarked that there was nobody to complain to; while others begged to leave, often on a daily basis, but all were refused. Every single survivor confirmed that they were never paid, that no inspections were ever carried out and that no government official ever came to check on them.”

JFM is delighted to participate in this event with ICCL and to share our experience at UNCAT with other organisations. Central to JFM’s UNCAT experience was the use of YouTube clips which were made possible by the webcast hosted by the ICCL and the Irish Penal Reform Trust (IRPT) who will also speak at today’s event

The forgotten Maggies



















"YOU were classed as nothing, you were told you came from nothing and you would always go back to being nothing."

This was how Josephine Meade described her time in a Magdalene Laundry, in a documentary which airs on TG4 tonight.



































Taoiseach Enda Kenny has strongly criticised the Vatican for what he said was an attempt to frustrate the Cloyne inquiry, accusing it of downplaying the rape of children to protect its power and reputation.

Mr Kenny was speaking during Dáil statements on the report. (Read)

Never before has a Taoiseach used such language in criticising the Catholic Church.

Mr Kenny told the Dáil that the Cloyne Report highlighted the 'dysfunction, disconnection, elitism and narcissism that dominate the culture of the Vatican to this day.'

The rape and torture of children had been downplayed or 'managed' to uphold, instead, the primacy of the institution, which are its power, standing and 'reputation'.

The hierarchy had proved either unwilling or unable to address what he called the horrors uncovered in successive reports, a failure which he said must be devastating for so many good priests.

Mr Kenny said that the Catholic Church needed to be truly and deeply penitent for the wrongdoing it perpetrated, hid and denied.

'Instead of listening to evidence of humiliation and betrayal,' Mr Kenny pointed out that the Vatican's reaction had been to parse and analyse it, with the eye of a canon lawyer.

'This position is the polar opposite of the radicalism, the humility and the compassion that the Church had been founded on.'

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said what was done was not just to avoid scandal - it involved the wilful refusal to respect basic moral and legal responsibilities.

Mr Martin said no-one had any excuse for not knowing what to do when there was even a suspicion of child abuse.

Sinn Féin's Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin said the report shows it had learned nothing since the Fr Brendan Smith scandal.

O'Gorman praises 'groundbreaking' speech

Founder of One in Four, Colm O'Gorman has said there are not enough superlatives to describe Enda Kenny's speech today.

He said it was groundbreaking and extraordinary and a speech that historians would hopefully refer to in the future as a defining moment when Ireland was offered the opportunity to become a Republic.

Mr O'Gorman said Mr Kenny's words were uncompromising in their withering condemnation of the Vatican.

He said he had hoped for a speech like this for nearly ten years.

Archbishop criticises Catholic hierarchy

Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin has said there are groups in the Vatican and the hierarchy who try to undermine and refuse to understand what is being done in terms of child protection.

Speaking on RTE's Six One, he called these groups 'a cabal' who refused to recognise Vatican rules in the area.

Archbishop Martin said he was impressed by the emotion of the Taoiseach's speech in the Dáil and that Enda Kenny clearly feels very deeply about this subject. He was very disappointed and angry with what was contained in the Cloyne Report.

Archbishop Martin said he was never reprimanded by the Vatican for complying with the Murphy Commission, which investigated abuse in the Dublin Archdiocese.

He said he also had a duty to defend good priests. He said those who played tricks with Catholic Church norms or rules, have betrayed good priests. He said he was angry, ashamed and appalled by them.

The archbishop said he was disappointed that the Taoiseach's speech did not deal with failings in State institutions as detailed in the Cloyne Report.

He called on the Vatican to reiterate its support for local churches in applying norms and reporting to State authorities. He said he hoped Bishops could be trusted and he said if a Bishop was not honest they would only be uncovered by an Audit with invasive powers.

Asked if Chief Executive of the Church's National Board for Child Protection Ian Elliot needed more powers, he said Mr Elliot was dependent on 'moral power' and therefore Mr Elliot needed people to act morally.

He said and if people were acting immorally, then 'moral power' would not be enough.

Cloyne Report motion passed

Meanwhile, the Dáil has passed an all-party motion deploring the Vatican's intervention as outlined in the Cloyne investigation, which, it says, contributed to the undermining of child protection guidelines.

The motion also expresses dismay at the report's findings and at the inappropriate response of the church to complaints of sexual abuse. It also expresses sympathy with the victims.

The motion was passed without a vote.

Priests 'not encouraged' to break laws

Vatican spokesman Fr Federico Lombardi, speaking in a personal capacity, has said that there was nothing in the advice given by the Papal Nuncio in 1997 to encourage bishops to break Irish laws.

He said that the Vatican's advice to Irish bishops on child protection policies could not be interpreted as an invitation to cover up abuse cases.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Minister for Justice Alan Shatter said the comments were disingenuous and he said he expected a more considered, formal response from the Vatican.

Shatter to bring National Vetting Bureau proposals

Mr Shatter has told the Dáil he will bring proposals to Government to set up a National Vetting Bureau and to put the screening of those working with young people and vulnerable adults on a statutory basis.

Mr Shatter said the bill he was preparing would also provide for the disclosure of so called 'soft information' for the purpose of child protection.

He said he hopes to bring Heads of the Bill to the Government next week.

Danneels en z'n Europeese primeur: Church faces liability ruling by court in priest sex abuse case, RK bedrijfsongevalletjes Wir habes es nicht gewußt

7 July 2011
Yorkshire Post




Die zaak in België stinkt!
stap voor stap
namens de feestcommissie: dank U wel.



THE High Court has been asked to give a ruling on whether the Catholic Church can ever be held liable for the wrongdoings of its priests.
A judge in London is to determine what was described yesterday as “an issue of wide general importance in respect of claims against the Catholic Church”.

Although the point to be decided has arisen in a damages action over alleged sex abuse by a priest, any decision will affect other types of claims made against the Church.
Mr Justice MacDuff was told by Elizabeth-Anne Gumbel QC, who represents the woman at the centre of the sex abuse claim, the issue to be determined was whether the Church “can ever be vicariously liable in any situation for any tort at all”.

It was, she said, “a very wide issue indeed”.

Lawyers for the alleged victim say it is the first time a court has been asked to rule on whether the “relationship between a Catholic priest and his bishop is akin to an employment relationship”.

It is being dealt with as a preliminary issue in the damages action brought by the 47-year-old woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons. She claims she was sexually assaulted as a child by the late Father Wilfred Baldwin, a priest of the Portsmouth Diocese, at a children’s home in Hampshire run by an order of nuns.

Ms Gumbel told the judge the preliminary issue was “essentially whether Fr Baldwin should be treated as having been in the position of an employee” of the trustees of the Portsmouth Roman Catholic Diocesan Trust.

“The preliminary issue is intended to determine an issue of wide general importance in respect of claims against the Catholic Church,” she said.
“That is whether any priest carrying out his work as a Roman Catholic priest is in a position akin to an employee for the purposes of imposing vicarious liability on the relevant diocesan trustees or bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese.”
If the answer was yes, then the next issue would be whether the priest was carrying out the actions complained of in circumstances which were “closely connected” with his role and/or work as a priest.

If the answer was no, she said, there would be “no circumstances where the Roman Catholic Church is liable for the actions of one of its priests whether deliberate or careless and however closely connected those actions were to the role of priest”.
Ms Gumbel told the judge this would “place the Catholic Church in a unique position as far as avoiding responsibility for the acts or omissions of any priest working within the church organisation in whatever role”.

The woman’s solicitor, Tracey Emmott, said in a statement the Church claimed the relationship “between the bishop of the diocese and the parish priest in question does not amount to anything akin to a relationship of employment and therefore there cannot be any ‘vicarious’ responsibility for the priest’s acts”.
“That is to say, whatever sexual abuse their priests might commit, it is not their responsibility.

“They are absolved of blame,” she said.

The consequence of the Church winning the preliminary issue “is that they will be able to avoid compensating all victims of sexual abuse by priests, whether in the past or the future”.

She added: “No other organisation has such immunity”.

The solicitor said it was known that several other people who claim abuse at the hands of Fr Baldwin, who died in 2006, are also likely to bring civil claims against the Church depending on the outcome of the proceedings before Mr Justice MacDuff.

The hearing continues.

State apology is only way to express wrong done to Magdalenes

Mary Rafferty
OPINION: Damning information on State’s links to the laundries pops up in surprising places

Last week, Minister for Justice Alan Shatter became the first representative of the State to recognise officially that Irish society may have a duty to the thousands of women (most of them no longer with us) who toiled behind the locked doors of the Magdalene laundries.

However, his new committee of civil servants examining the State’s connections with laundries will need to deploy formidable skills in lateral thinking.

Official information on these institutions can be tricky to find, and may pop up in unexpected places. For instance, a search in military records might be instructive.

In the early 1940s, for example, it appeared that some State bodies, most particularly the Army, were transferring their laundry contracts from commercial laundries to what were euphemistically called “institutional laundries”. These of course were the large Magdalene operations, centred in Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Limerick, Galway and New Ross.

In 1941, minister for defence Oscar Traynor claimed in the Dáil that the contracts with Magdalene laundries “contain a fair wages clause”. This is a startling statement, as we know now (and indeed it would have been known at the time) that the women penitents locked up in these laundries did not receive wages for their work.

The matter had arisen in the Dáil at a time of concern that workers in commercial laundries were losing their jobs directly as a result of State contracts going to the nuns running the Magdalene laundries. The latter could outbid anyone, given their non-existent labour costs.

According to Mary Jones’s history of the Irish Women Workers’ Union, These Obstreperous Lassies , at least one laundry was forced to close in 1941 with the loss of 25 jobs. It had just lost an Army contract to the Sisters of Charity Magdalene laundry in Donnybrook.

The union wrote to the nuns running the laundries, begging them not to put workers out of a job by underbidding for State contracts. Their pleas fell on deaf ears.

This was the background to Traynor’s extraordinary statement.

There is, though, something perplexing about it. The full sentence in the Dáil record reads as follows: “As, however, these contracts contain a fair wages clause, I am having the matter reconsidered and will communicate further with the deputy as soon as practicable.”

No further communication can be found, and the mystery of why Traynor should have felt it necessary to reconsider the contracts going to Magdalene laundries remains unsolved. It is, however, undeniable that the State was perfectly content to save itself a few bob by using the cheaper Magdalene laundries – cheaper of course because of the slave labour of their inmates.

Shatter’s committee should also search the records of the Department of Enterprise, Jobs and Innovation – incorporating the old department of industry and commerce. A focus on files from the 1950s and 1960s on foot of the Factories Act 1955 would be productive. This specified detailed health and safety regulations for a range of establishments, among which the Magdalene laundries are clearly included.

What makes this so important is the requirement for all commercial operations covered by the Act to keep registers of their workers, especially listing all women and young people with their ages and specific occupations.

Further, they were obliged to send these details to the department regularly.

Consequently, the department’s inspectors had a legal duty to ensure that the names of all Magdalene workers were recorded in these registers and lodged with the State. Given that one of the rigorously applied rules of Magdalene laundries was that the names of all inmates were changed on entry, it would be interesting to see just how these laundries registered their workers. In the eventuality that no such details are discovered in departmental archives, the question then arises of State negligence in ensuring compliance with the law.

The Factories Act 1955 certainly gives the lie to former minister for education Batt O’Keeffe when he claimed that the State had no duty to inspect or regulate Magdalene laundries.

While the State did not fund these institutions, it is unarguable that the legal duty to inspect and regulate them as factories did exist.

Section 84 of the Act was headed “Institutions”, and clearly laid out that all such entities were covered by the legislation once “any manual labour is exercised in or incidental to the making, altering, repairing, ornamenting, finishing, washing, cleaning, or adapting for sale, of articles not intended for the use of the institution”.

Speaking in the Dáil in May 1955, the then minister for industry and commerce William Norton stated that “once you wash clothes in the institution, not for the institution, then that is a factory. In other words, you have a right to wash clothes for the institution, but if you start to wash other people’s clothes it is a factory, for the purpose of section 84.” The Justice for Magdalenes group has highlighted other connections between the State and the laundries, particularly in the way they were used for women on probation and remand, and indeed for children (up to 70 in 1970) transferred directly from the industrial schools.

However, there are also other factors to be considered by Government when deliberating on the issue of an apology to and redress for the survivors of the laundries. Any wider examination of the social dynamics surrounding these institutions will show many women were put in by their families who refused to take them back. Many others used them as a threat to keep young women under control.

Society now clearly recognises that what happened to the victims of this system was wrong. The only way this can be formally expressed is through a State apology. Any Government with the courage to act on this will receive nothing but praise.
