  • Summary

  • Greg talks with Claire McGettrick and Mari Steed about Ireland's history of adoption and original birth records---which have always been public records---and the decades-long fight for Irish-born adopted people to secure the right to obtain all records related to their own identities and history.

    You can read more about this issue and Claire and Mari's work at Adoption Rights Alliance, which is also a partner in the rights-based research work of the CLANN Project.

    And check out Claire and Mari's (and others') recent book, Ireland and the Magdalene Laundries: A Campaign for Justice, which provides "an overview of the social, cultural and political contexts of institutional survivor activism, the Irish State's response culminating in the McAleese Report, and the formation of the Justice for Magdalenes campaign, a volunteer-run survivor advocacy group."
