Still working on this problem so I am. What a conundrum! Let’s hope it never turns up on the Leaving Cert. Recently I was listening to the radio and two nuns were speaking. Needless to say the Ryan Report got a mention … one of the nuns may just have unwittingly solved the above conundrum; she actually said the Ryan Report was … unbelievable!

Of course they knew.

And as for ‘good’ schools, that’s a load of shite.

I went to 4 elite Boarding Schools, and one elite Reformatory…

Killeshee Convent,Kildare 65/66

Willow Park prep,Black ROck 66/70

Colaiste Na Rinne, Dungarvan 70/71

Mount Mellary 72/72

Colastie na Iosgan, Bally Vourney 72/77

All were typified by overt violence, psychological abuse, public humiliation, I was seriously sexually abused in Willow Park nd beatnen regularily, phsyically assaulted in Rinne and Mount Mellary and Bally Vourney.

I had no real family, just rich dysfucntional aunts… they were nutters too…

I was bred for ‘leadership’…. and I refuse the yoke so got the ‘treatment’….

Unable to tell any family… they just weren’t there… I was on my own…. i supposed what saved me from truly horrendous abuse that others have survived, just, is the FEES my rich aunts were paying…

Point is : all the Government and Civil Service over the age of 50 either were abused or witnessed it… THEY KNEW before the ‘scandal’ inthe 90s…. NONE of the Irish Government talk about their childhoods….

They are all in willful denial, and that makes them VERY DANGEROUS INDEED… as we see…

I write lots about this, about Power Relationships and the poisoning of life that they are…

It is simple. The bastardy law and the morality of the Poor Law introduced this concept of poor as being financially, socially and environmentally poor fed into the age of discipline enforced by this Poor Law on the bad girls. Good girls were those who did bad but were seen to be moral and of good breeding stock.
The good girls taught by the then discipliners and moral educators then made sure the stock was not polluted in the status of good and bad girls. Girls who were below the accepted norm for the country landowner of the time.

For this go to the work of Jean Carabine, on Unmarried motherhood 1830-1990 : A genealogical Analysis. Found in Discourse as Data in the MSc in Psychology strand of Discourse Analysis which I took. M Wetherell et al, 2001 in chapter 7 adds this to the other concepts as Foucauldian as

Discourse, power and knowledge.

‘a threat to marriage and the TRADITIONAL FAMILY, irresponsible, dependent and potential ‘beggars’ as welfare subjects, …. ‘bad’ mothers as homogenous as all the same, ….

Hansard, 1993.
‘proper backgrounds@? Do all we can to encourage Proper family stability, because it is the bedrock of the nation.

Quote of ‘loving relationships’ as the fostering of subservience and patriarchal and matriarchal guidelines in my view are what this debate is about.

Therefore, enforced actions of nuns then and perhaps now on the sublimation of feminism as to gender and those who are the ‘good’ prospects of the nation as breeders of good stock; socially acceptable in the arts and portrayal, and having a value.

A value of quality in the marriage market where stock as female stock is sought for those in socially middle class as having money and status of the breadwinner as payer of the fees to the convent, church or that social mix financial and social influencers who put the most watched by the poor on the silver plate where Jesus stands invisible to them. A poor girl is a bad girl then and now if she has no social standing of her benefactor.

That is why two sides of good and bad and one set of discipliners who use the cross as a whip for the immoral urchin in contrast to the funded and socially enchanting family unit of value.
