Taoiseach can't force religious orders on Magdalene redress
Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Taoiseach says he can't force the religious orders to make a contribution to the redress scheme for those in the Magdalene laundries.
There were 10 Magdalene laundries in the Republic - the Sisters of Mercy ran the laundry at Forster Street in the city, which closed in 1984.
It's after the four orders of Catholic nuns refused to contribute to the fund - which is expected to be between 34 and 58 million euro.
Enda Kenny's told the Dáil he's not going to get into a fight with the orders over the money as the survivors don't have time on their side.
