she should be punished for that..but maybe she is mentally unstable and need to be treated you never know what goes up in their heads ... but it was such a bad thing to do for a woman in her age ! .

that's cruel. i don't like cats myself but would never hurt it. and it's even more strange, because she's an old lady. you would expect more then this from someone her age.

Great interview, the lads are really bright. You guys read out my question but the lads took points off me cos I got one of the song titles wrong. I said Kate and not Kay. Boo to me. I was panicking I suppose trying to get tickets. I could really use a wish right now...........

I was born in Cork in 1963, adopted in February 1964. I approached my adoption agency in 1982 in an attempt to find out something about my origins, or whether my natural mother would like some contact with me. My confidence was breached by the secretary of the agency who approached my natural grandmother instead of my natural mother and told her that I had been in contact. That nun/agency secretary accepted my natural grandmother’s attitude that they should “let sleeping dogs lie” and that her “daughter was getting on with her life”. The nun also denied having any information at all about me. I found out in 1989 that my natural mother had died, that the agency had known this since 1987. I wrote again and the agency would tell me nothing. Eventually with the help of people in Adoption Rights Alliance I found out about my natural mother, that she had died in 1985 in London, always hoping that I would get in touch, and never having been told that I’d been trying since 1982 to have some form of contact, even if just to say “hello” over a cup of coffee. In 2001 I wrote yet again to the adoption agency and this time some information was forthcoming, simple but yet profoundly special information such as my weight at birth, time of birth, duration of labour, and some basic notes about my health after my birth. All information the existence of which had previously been denied by the very same adoption agency. I found my natural mother’s final resting place in 2002 in London and subsequently established a very happy contact with members of my natural family. I have been living in London since April 1985. My natural mother died in August 1985. At one stage I was living only TWO ROADS AWAY from her. And yet these people would not try to contact her directly to determine if she wanted contact. Because she did. And it might have changed how she spent the last 4 months of her life. Minister Barry Andrews needs to stop being so selfish and supportive of the evil secrecy which leads to other people experiencing what I experienced!
