Plainly Wrong: Brendan O’Neill, the editor of spiked-online.com has strongly criticized the infamous Tuam baby tank story. Quote: “The news reports in respectable media outlets around the world were plain wrong.” And: “The constantly repeated line about the bodies of 800 babies having been found was pure mythmaking. The bodies of 800 babies had not been found, in the septic tank or anywhere else.” O’Neill quotes one of the men who in 1975 disturbed the former septic tank and saw about 20 skeletal remains.

Madness: O’Neil notices that none of the recently revealed facts have put a stop to the Heart of Darkness-style coverage of the Tuam tank. He criticizes a – quote - hysterical piece in the Irish Independent that compared the Tuam home to the Nazi Holocaust, Rwanda and Srebrenica, saying that in all these settings people were killed ‘because they were scum’. O’Neill asks: “What madness is this?”

Catholic Depravity: O’Neills adds: “Clearly this isn’t about news anymore rather, a mishmash of anti-Catholic prejudice.” And: “What we have today in pretty much every discussion of Ireland’s history is nothing like analysis but rather a kind of perverted dirt-digging, a scrabbling about in the events of the past for evidence of Catholic depravity.” O’Neill calls himself an atheistic liberatarian.

Falsehood: O’Neil points out that so many of the recent revelations of Catholic Ireland’s screwed-up past have proven false. Letterfrack Industrial School was presented as a killing field, where boys were raped, murdered and buried in mass graves. But studies discovered that there had been 147 deaths of boys at the school during its entire history - from 1887 to 1974. They had died form pneumonia, TB, meningitis or fatal accidents. The same for slandered nun-run Magdalene Laundries. A government’s report published last year found not a single case of sexual abuse in the entire history.

Good lies? O’Neill challenges those who say: Okay, these might have been lies but they were good lies, because they got people talking about the history of Catholic abuse in Ireland. His answer: How many ‘good lies’ have to be told about Ireland’s past before they just become lies? If as many myths were spread about by a government in relation to a war or something, there would be outrage, demands for an inquiry; why is it okay, then, to promote half-truths, non-facts and embellishments about the Irish Catholic Church?
