No, it comes from knowing people here and having lived in their houses and yes, meeting some of the victims and their families first hand. But you will just find some reason why that doesn't count or is wrong.

You're taking the view that you want to take, and distorting what I said accordingly. I'm done explaining and writing and arguing. You will never be convinced because you don't want to be. But please don't dismiss my lived experiences here and the people I have interacted with when you know nothing about them.

Your post is full of "the impression I get" and "I'm sure that" and "I think". Fine, Joe. Whatever.

> who is supposed to pay the cost of all this?

Well, for starters there's that 20 million they made from the sale of the Magdalene Laundry in Cork.

Out of here now. No point trying to explain further.
