#26: Fellow northsider Seamus Kelly talks about the abuse and systemic injustices he suffered. 

Powerful podcast a lot of jobs were dependent on people down in their luck coming from deprivation and it was in their interest to find problems where there was none. The church? What church? Religion? Stop the lights... Seamus Kelly your spirit couldn’t be broken you were seeing the bigger picture at that young age imagine, thanks for sharing your story Seamus and being the voice for many. When we heal ourselves we heal all that’s gone before us and after us there’s big healing in tears. Mighty Man 💚🍀

Amazing story, brilliant podcast as always lads. Huge respect & admiration for Seamus.

Absolutely heartbreaking 💔 you can feel his pain. You know your worth Seamus.

Shocking stuff. That story about seeing his mam on Patrick's bridge is one of the worst things I've ever heard, horrific altogether. Some disgusting bastards back then involved in religious orders. No wonder people have turned their backs on the Catholic church

Powerful, what an amazing man.

Very powerful story lads as always. You've done extremely well to have come through all this.

Fair play to Seamus. That's fucking unreal like

Seamus nailed it. His testimony shows that abuse in this country was widespread and systematic.

Great lads. Fantastic work as always

Thank you all.

Sickening.. what an incredible man ..one of the most educated men on a podcast..

Seamus, The injustices done to you were nothing short of absolute atrocities. I felt every inch of your pain. Fair play, what a mighty man you are. Definitely nothing wrong with your brain, you articulate yourself extremely well. I personally can not, have not and will never be able stomach the words "mentally retarded" or "spastic" - terribly derogatory terminology. You continue to use your voice and be a beacon of light for all those who have been through and are still going through what you went through. This sort of carry on must be stopped!!! My mother and I, in South Africa, would love to read your story, is there anyway of obtaining an electronic copy? You can, and should, be very proud of who and what you are. Timmy and James, Yet another excellent podcast lads. I cannot commend you enough for the amazing work you are doing.

What an amazing man much love to you Seamus ❤

Admiration. Nothing more to say

Well done boys👍💚..Seamus you are a true survivor , best of luck with everything, 🙏🇮🇪💚

Well done Seamus A lovely man. They will never break the spirit of a man like that. An interesting point that Seamus made " It is still going on just in a different way" The system is riddled with corruption and we are still ignoring it. I think the times are a changing though with strong courageous souls like Seamus.Ye Shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

Fair play to Seamus. Remember his story the next time the collection boxes are passed around at mass.

“It filters down through the generations.” Fact.

Great show boys. Went to the mon primary school in the mid 80s and got bate nearly on a daily basis so could relate to Seamus that way. Sounds like he was a mad little thing growing up 😂

Powerful ❤

Heartbreaking story 💔

Many Blessings Respect

Seamus is extremely educated. Real life education from the University of Life.

Much love boys. Hon Munster.

Just wondering did Séamus have a nick name back then???. Wonderful podcast lads. I am the same age as Séamas but we all had nick names back then just wondering if I know him from back then. Your a amazing man Séamus 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Best wishes to you seamus..

Enpthaty is all I could think.
