“I THOUGHT I was going to be drowned.” Terrifying thoughts for a girl of eight to endure. But that was the case for young Deirdre O’Donoghue – now Deirdre
Harper, a 55-year-old mother and grandmother, living in Birkby,
Huddersfield.
Deirdre was living in care in Belfast back in the 1960s. She had her head held repeatedly under her bathwater by a Catholic nun, whose rosary beads banged against the side of the bath. Her crime? She had taken a bath at the wrong time – to avoid one in the Jeyes fluid used to clean the water.
