C'est une page sombre de l'histoire irlandaise. Jusqu'à la fin des années 1970, des milliers d'enfants, pauvres ou orphelins, étaient placés par les tribunaux, sous la tutelle de religieuses, dans des institutions censées les éduquer. Or, ces « écoles » dites industrielles furent souvent le théâtre de violences – physiques, psychologiques et sexuelles –, infligées à des générations d'enfants. Quatre survivants, trois femmes et un homme, ont vécu pendant près de deux mois dans la rue, devant le Parlement de Dublin. Emmitouflée dans plusieurs pulls, Miriam se tient devant la tente qu'elle a partagée avec trois autres survivants durant 52 jours. Placée bébé à l'école industrielle de Tralee, dans l'ouest de l'Irlande, elle raconte, à 68 ans aujourd'hui, l'enfer que les religieuses faisaient subir aux enfants « La première chose que les Sœurs faisaient, c'est te voler ton nom pour t'attribuer un numéro : le mien, c'était 1-0-6-1. Elles t'arrachaient ta personnalité, ta dignité, ta voix… Nous n'allions jamais nulle part, nous n'avions ni dentifrice, ni savon, et jamais d'eau chaude. Nos journées se résumaient à coudre, à travailler, pour des gens de dehors. Et pour cela, nous n'avons jamais été payés », témoigne-t-elle. En plus du travail forcé, les religieuses – dont la « charité » n'avaient que le nom – infligeaient aux enfants violences et humiliations. « Elles t'attachaient nue à un lit, l'une d'elles comptait, et elles te frappaient cent fois. Et elles forçaient tes frères et sœurs, et tes amis, à regarder… », se souvient-elle avec effroi. Ces écoles industrielles font partie de ces institutions gérées conjointement par l'État irlandais et l'Église, tout au long du XXe siècle. L'un des plus grands scandales du pays, au même titre que les couvents de la Madeleine, où plus de 30 000 femmes – considérées impures – étaient condamnées à travailler sans relâche, exploitées par les nonnes. Selon James Gallen, professeur et spécialiste des institutions religieuses à la Dublin City University (DCU), après huit siècles de domination britannique, l'Église catholique a su profiter à cette époque de la fragilité d'un État tout juste sorti de la guerre civile pour étendre son emprise. « L'Irlande nouvellement indépendante était en proie à une profonde insécurité sur son identité. On craignait de découvrir que les Irlandais étaient incapables de se gouverner eux-mêmes, que notre idéal d'une Irlande sainte et catholique n'était qu'une illusion. C'est pourquoi les autorités étaient très déterminées à présenter l'Irlande comme un pays moralement pur », explique-t-il. Depuis presque deux mois, les quatre survivants affirmaient ne vivre que d'eau et de café. Et pourtant, rien n'a entamé la force du groupe, selon Miriam : « Je pense que c'est parce que nous avons souffert enfants : nous sommes des survivants, et c'est pour ça que nous sommes plus forts qu'ils ne le pensent. Ils commencent seulement à comprendre la résilience et la détermination que nous avons. Nous resterons ici jusqu'à ce que nous obtenions ce que le gouvernement nous a promis. » Et c'est enfin chose faite ! Mardi, le Premier ministre irlandais, Micheál Martin, les a appelés à mettre fin à leur mouvement. Les grévistes de la faim devraient désormais bénéficier de soins médicaux gratuits, ainsi que d'un soutien financier. Le soulagement pour Miriam, qui dit s'être battue non seulement pour elle, mais aussi pour les 4 000 autres survivants des écoles industrielles irlandaises.

Harry McGee and Ellen Coyne look back on the week in politics:· The presidential race is the only show in town with Fine Gael recovering remarkably well from the news last week that Mairead McGuinness was dropping out for health reasons. Within days of that bombshell, Heather Humphreys and Seán Kelly emerged as rivals for the party candidacy, but Humphreys' momentum and popularity across party lines makes her a strong favourite to win the race for the nomination. · And while Fine Gael can count three legitimate potential candidates, Taoiseach Micheál Martin is playing his cards close to his chest with Fianna Fáil yet to put anyone forward. Perhaps former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern will eventually get the nod? · Will Sinn Féin throw their support behind Catherine Connolly in the absence of an obvious candidate in their own ranks? Mary Lou McDonald aside of course. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Walking the Boyne Valley Camino, and Rose of Tralee winner Katelyn Cummins. Hosted on Acast.

In the early 20th century, in a remote village in Hungary, a group of women, driven to despair by their violent, abusive husbands, decided to take matters into their own hands. Their solution to their difficult life circumstances was arsenic, a deadly poison easily extracted from fly paper or arsenic-rich “flystones". The women began slipping this deadly substance into their husband's porridge, stews and drinks and according to some estimates, up to 300 people in the Nagyrév region were murdered in the space of two decades. In this episode, Hope Reese, author of The Women Are Not Fine, joins Róisín Ingle to explain why this deadly sisterhood of women were driven to kill, how the murders spiralled out of control and how they were eventually caught and punished for their crimes.But first podcast producer Aideen Finnegan is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week including the crowning of the 2025 Rose of Tralee, Sally Rooney's support for Palestine Action and why Rhashidat Adeleke is out of this year's World Athletics Championships.
