JUSTICE FOR MAGDALENE SEEKS CLARIFICATION AHEAD OF MEETING WITH TAOISEACH

Date Published: 10-Feb-2013

The Justice for Magdalene group is seeking clarifications before it decides if it will attend a meeting with the Taoiseach.

Both Enda Kenny and the Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore will meet with other survivor groups tomorrow.

The meeting was arranged in the wake of the McAleese report, which found evidence of state involvement in the running of the laundries.

The Sisters of Mercy ran the Magdalene laundry at Forster street in the city until it closed in 1984.

Clare McGettrick of the Justice for Magdalenes group is seeking assurances that the survivors’ privacy will be protected.
