Hero on 19:49 - Aug 25 with 1673 views | MrSheen | There was a craze in the 60s for competitive burial. The world record was once set in Kilburn. https://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/incredible-tale-of-an-irish-barman-bu Michael Meaney was my Dad’s cousin and I remember being taken there as a little kid and shouting down a pipe to him. My uncle told me years later it was all bollocks and he came up every night - hence the lack of scrutineers. Michael’s greatest act lay ahead of him. You’ve probably heard of the Magdalene nurseries, where teenage Irish mothers were detained after being separated from their babies until their children reached 16. By then they were so institutionalised and rejected by society that many stayed on for life. This had happened to a cousin of Michael’s. When he returned home to Ireland, he insisted on taking this girl in on her release, to the horror of members of his family, including my grandmother, who was aunt to Michael and the girl, who preferred to keep her out of sight. After a few years she ended up married with a family life of her own. | | | |
