Marykate's Story: Institutional Abuse in Ireland

These are the images of institutional abuse in Ireland.

This is Marykate she is 15 years old diagnosed non verbal Autism with a severe intellectual disability. Marykate is a daughter, a sister to two younger siblings Dylan and Abel Noah, and a friend to all that knows her.

Due to Marykate's complex needs her family decided a part time residential placement would best meet Marykate's needs so her family made the hard decision to seek a placement in a residential for children with severe disabilities a decision that they now utterly regret.

Marykate was both abused and neglected within her residential placement which was chosen by Tusla and the HSE and funded the cost of nearly €350,000 per year for a one-to-one care.

James's Story: Homelessness in Ireland

James is an Irish man facing homelessness while the state funds emergency housing.

Despite state-funded accommodation programs, James finds himself sleeping in his car outside facilities designed to help people like him. His story exposes the gaps in Ireland's housing crisis and the disconnect between available resources and those who need them most.

Featured in The A. Casey Podcast, James's journey highlights the urgent need for systemic change and direct support for vulnerable individuals in Ireland.

Your support can help James transition from homelessness to stable housing and rebuild his life with dignity.
