Irish leader Enda Kenny promises apology to survivors of the Magdalene Laundries

did you see that Shatter weasel directing the Kenny fella to enter the embassy in London pursuant to meeting with the abused laundry ladies - Don't be surprized if Shatter will want an apology for what the Irish shoudda, couldda wouldda never had done to load up Ireland with six million of his tribe members who because of their shame perished at the hands of the Gerries. Kick up a fuss again herr Shatter - have ye no shame.

Isnt this rotten scene just about identical to the Christian brothers (catholic) treatment of orphans and juvenile delinquents? Best described by a victim as "a good day was a day without a beating"................Most abusers have been abused themselves. its like if you beat a kid into subimission, he learns that he should beat his kids into submission....................Mix all this with the endless hidden molestation of children by the sex starved power hungry priests (think prison rapte btw) and the compensaition - which will never be enough to erase the horrors - should be laid at the door of the Vatican . Which in Ireland is all but dead. The sooner the better.

In allorganisations there will be abuse, but the good should not be overshadowed. Where were the the aunts and uncles of these peoor misfortunates or indeed their flesh and blood when the own when both relatives and the state failed the innocent victims

What is the delay with a state apology? Fear that restitution needs to be considered? After all the state did pay each laundry, placed many girls/woman there, furnished no oversight and neglected the welfare of its citizens. It would sweep a child from a home today for what it tolerated nuns doing to thousands of young women a short time ago. Least each former resident of these prison-like laundries should have is full and free health care, including mental health services and some form of on-going compensation perhaps dependent upon their respective length of stay. Nothing will alter the harm already done and the State is guilty of Neglect. Pay up!
