Live stream of the Herstory Light Show on Athlone Castle

The Herstory Light Show display on Athlone Castle over the weekend has caught the imagination of many people in the region.

The event was part of the 2021 Herstory Light Show which saw landmarks across Ireland light up on Sunday and Monday in honour of the Mother & Baby Homes victims; COVID heroines and heroes, Black Lives Matter, ‘Women who have Arrived’, and Brigids of the world.

During the light shows, the names of all the children who died in the Bessborough Mother and Baby Home from 1922 to 1994 were illuminated on Athlone Castle.
