Desmond Doyle, 29, a painter and decorator, is married with six
children and living in the infamous Fatima Mansions in Dublin in
1953. One day he comes home to find his wife has left him. He
decides to go to England to find work and is advised to put his
children into the state Industrial Schools system for a short time
until he returns. When he returns he is told to his horror that the
children have been consigned to the state until they are 16. Told
through the eyes of Evelyn, Desmond's 9-year-old eldest daughter,
this is the story of how Desmond Doyle fought the Irish legal
system to change the law and win back his family as well as
hundreds of other children.
