Date Published: 08-Jul-2009

The plight of women consigned to Magdalene laundries in Galway and the rest of the country needs to be addressed by the Government. That's according to Labour Women who were commenting after today's screening in the city of a documentary on four women who worked in Magdalene laundries as children. 'The Forgotten Maggies' documentary focuses on the legacy left by their experiences in the laundries. Three of the women attended the screening outside the Town Hall and spoke to members of the public about their experiences inside the magdalene laundries.
