"MGM Lion and other British writers seem to think this problem with orphanages all began after Ireland got its partial independence"

..,,.,.

Looking back at my previous post, I can identify no scintilla of a suggestion that I ever 'seemed to think' any such thing. I was simply referring to the period covered by the programme under consideration; which itself didn't imply this was a new phenomenon, but, as it was explicitly based on the recollections of those involved, dealt with the years I mentioned. I was replying to the statement that "Times were different then", pointing out that "then" wasn't that long since.
