The Lies of Catherine Corless & Others - Part IV
Channel: False History
Date: 2023-05-14

Acadumbics: Irish academics should have the capability to spot false history. However, the drop in educational standards that has occurred in recent decades, has left all sectors of education in Ireland seriously dumbed down. The Tuam mother and baby home scandal stands as a prime example of the poor-quality scholarship that is now dominant in Irish universities.

The claims of Catherine Corless should have been subjected to critical analysis, instead the academics chose to believe her false claims uncritically. They are no better than the academics of early modern Europe, who believed in witches and were heavily involved in the buffoonish witch craze.

The outputs of Dr Niall Meehan of Griffith College, Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley of Galway University and Prof Diarmaid Ferriter of University College Dublin provides the exemplar.
