The poor little girl. I will never understand why. Other than that fact I enjoyed your find. Fun to see things like this. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI tried Google search Margaret Siemers for information on that particular child murder but absolutely nothing surfaced. Most odd. But in the Ireland of that time, children were murdered and abused as a matter of course by both the catholic church and the Irish state authorities. Between them they carried on regardless in a paedo-party that went on for decades, murdering countless children. It was the crime never spoken of and always covered up quickly - a real Irish history. That her death received a mere paragraph hidden well inside the pages of the now defunct Irish Press is in itself quite telling. Both paedo gangs however remain in power and in denial.
ReplyDeleteIt's always a bonus to find things like this in spite of the grim report!
