Magdalene survivors call for fair compensation package ahead of Irish government meeting

Katiemac your lack of Christian values is sad and reprehensible. Wee Willy and his twisted ignorant view of history logic.

Will Hamilton! The Magdalen Launderies were established during British rule on the whole of island (c1860s). An inconvenient truth is that the hierarchy of the ecclesia which styles itself the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church were more often than not the handmaidens of the British rule in Irleand from the perfideous Act of Union, 1800/'01 onwards. A legitimate question would be how both Home Rule administrations in the respective parts of Irland since 1922 handled the inherited problem - and why?

I am pleased, commonsense and goodwill wins the day, the Irish PM needs a huge vote of thanks and deserves -'a bow'-. Well done.

First that women in the tiger print, needs to pay a hefty penalty. Then anyone receiving a money award needs to repay room and board for however long they were there.

sad but now its the gold that beckons and rightly so.

So much for Independence. When the British marched out the Catholic Church Limited slid in and established slave camps all across the country. The Irish people are still paying the bill for Home/Rome Rule.
