Yes, agree, Irish Stamp - watched the same film for the first time with a sense of fury. I enjoyed the revenge on the priest, though - unattractive as his backside was, it looked far more acceptable covered in hives! Shocking statistic that some 30,000 Irishwomen passed through those ghastly places, dumped often by families who couldn't be bothered with a 'simple' daughter, or who they thought might be a possible embarrassment to them.

Equally appalling that the Church kept the damn things going until a mere ten years ago, but interesting that we should now find the Church the transgressor rather than the girls (although several years' worth of accusations about hushed-up paedophiliac priests has not done the edifice much good).
