MAGDALENE SURVIVORS EXPECT STATE APOLOGY THIS WEEK

Date Published: 18-Feb-2013

Magdalene Laundry survivor groups say they're hopeful the Taoiseach will make a full formal apology this week.

It's expected to come during a Dáil debate tomorrow (Tue) on the McAleese report which found the State had a hand in the running of the work houses, one of which was located at Forster Street in the city.

One group is calling for compensation of one hundred thousand euro as a lump sum to each Magdalene survivor.
