Artane

The picture of Artane industrial school that emerges from Fr Henry Moore's 1962 report is of a drab, dysfunctional and monotonous place with institutionalised cruelty and inadequate facilities. Paul Cullen reports. Education standards were low, the boys were poorly fed and clothed and 80 per cent emigrated after leaving. Discipline is "rigid and severe and frequently approaches pure regimentation".

Location: Ireland

The Ryan Report I hold fast to the view that there must be no more deals, secret or otherwise done between Religious orders and the Government of Ireland without indepth consultation with people who were abused while in the care of religious orders or the state.

Leaving Artane Leaflet

1 Don't miss Mass on Sundays or Holydays of Obligation.

2 Go regularly to Confession and Holy Communion.
They will keep you straight and make you a man.
Say a Rosary every night. It will keep Our Lady on you side.

3 Stick at your work.
Don't change from one employer to another in a hurry.
Don't allow yourself to get "fed up".
Only useless people get "fed up".
If for sufficient reason you want to change from your employer
give me at least two weeks' notice and I shall help you to get another place.

4 Don't waste time.
If you lose your job go after another one at once till you get one.
A long time out of work will make you unfit for work.
Take a pride in your work. You cannot be proud of work badly done.

5 Learn to be good-humoured and agreeable. You will then be acceptable to others.
Don't be quarrelsome or grumbling. Try to acquire good manners. A book on Politeness will help.

6 Don't become a slave to the "Pictures".((( ESPECIALLY JESSE JAMES ???)))

7 Avoid liquor. You are well enough without it.

8 Don't bet. You haven't a lot of money and you have better uses for it than betting.

9 Have respect for your own person and the persons of others.
Your body has to put you into Heaven. Don't let it put you into Hell.

10 The only one who can make a man of you is yourself,
and then only by God's help, for which you must pray daily.
And make Our Lady your refuge at all times.

Your friend, Brother Flannery
