NICOLA TALLANT THIRTY-five orphans who
perished in a blaze in Cavan more than 60 years ago were locked into
their dormitories as the fire raged because nuns didn't want them seen
in their nightgowns.
The shocking claims are made in a new
TV documentary which investigates the fire at St Joseph's Orphanage in
1943. One of the 50 children who were rescued claims that the children
were ordered to say the Rosary as the fire spread from the laundry to
the second and third floors of the building.
