One of the stories that the (Irish) 'Christian Brothers' put

out - relatively recently - about the children in Letterfrack

was that they'd impaled a bull on the railings in Letterfrack!

That same organisation also called the children : >

'Children of Ne'er Do Wells' at the Child Abuse Commission

[ http://www.childabusecommission.ie/ ] who's report

is due to be published at the end of May this year.

~~~

Hopefully the report will finish them once and for all.

:: Current Notes By Uncle Monty ::

Since getting back from lovely Ireland last Tuesday, I

have not had anytime to spare with something every day

for busy me to do. Two of the most important days was first

the parliamentary sponsorship of me by Simon Hughes, M.P.

and co-hosted by Norman Baker, M.P. to visit inside the

House of Lords and the House of Commons. Both the Lords

and the Commons were absolutely palatial to me. I will, of

course, have a story in due course about my first and un-

forgettable adventure inside the hallowed chambers of

British political power!! Below is the photo of me with the

Commons Bobby with us both having abit of good laugh at

the manned and armed gates to the English parliament it-

self under Big Ben ... He thought, did the Bobby, that I

was a newly-elected Member of Parliament! Well,

I never! Okay, give me the money first for

my second home at least!!

Then the second important one was to attend the

5.00am ANZAC DAY Dawn Service that was something

both very special and very splendid for me along with

perhaps 3.500 or more mostly Aussies and Kiwis present

to mark the historical military events and battles of the

Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).

Here at my little blog, I will also write a short piece

on ANZAC DAY that is held annually at the Australian

War Memorial located at London's Hyde Park Corner.

As for Part 2 of 2 of my Letterfrack story -

"Part 2: Beyond Letterfrack" - that should be ready

quite soon. But, I thought Andrew Simon Brennan's

very short piece needed first to be presented to my

global blog readership before I conclude my own

two-part series on the evil Letterfrack Industrial

School for Irish Boys from 1887 to 1974.

With humble grace, Uncle Monty.
