Magdalene Laundries survivors to tell Enda Kenny they want a full state apology

Fine apologies butter no parsnips. Monetary compensation speaks louder than soundbytes. These women should paid retrospectively for the slave labout extracted from them by the sisters of little or no mercy. Such compensation could be exchequer neutral. Demand church property as retrospective payment, with interest. Not other way.

Apology is one thing. Compensation may be an entirely other thing, especially when it might be argued that the coffers are empty. One aspect that comes to mind is The situation of the Korean so-called "comfort women" during WWII, and compensation by Japan. Further, it is one thing to note that "the check is in the mail" and another thing to receive the check and deposit and or cash it. (Yes, lots of "things".)
