7. My mother in law used to live in a house backing on to one of them in Cork and it always struck her

that when they were outside working, it was always in silence.

A cousin of mine was put into an Industrial School with his 2 brothers (his 2 sisters went to a convent 30 miles away), by their step mother, when their father died after 2 weeks of marriage. She packed them off and sold the house. She went on to use that money to set her son up as a builder. Ironically, he built our family home and my sister in law worked for him. My cousin and his brothers left the country as soon as they could. He still won't talk about what happened in the Industrial school to this day.
