I see from your blog that you got a list of Cavan associations throughout the world. I am working on two projects one for Cavan Chamber and one for Cavan Community Radio. I would appreciate if you could email me a copy.

Best wishes,

I have never been the slightest bit interested in having children and often feel that many people should never have had them given what they have to go through in their lives. I have a huge empathy for children in need and I wrote purely out of curiosity and was amazed at the reply so looked up Cavan and Orphanage Fire and came up with all the details. How true it is I will never know but I am even more interested now that there is a name, a date, a place, a year and a death type to look into. I just wish I could find out a little of Mary’s history!
