(Magdalene survivors, from top: Maureen Sullivan and Diane Croghn; Mary Smith and Marina Gambold this afternoon)

 

I_________urge Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny to call for State acknowledgment of its complicity in remanding women and children to Magdalene Laundries, and to (i) offer an official apology to and (ii) establish a distinct redress scheme for victims and survivors of these abusive institutions.
