That’s exactly how we imagined it would look.

They’re ready to sign and to seal,
The “last ever” Croke Park Deal.
Before reading the terms,
Both left and right worms,
Will denounce it with all of their zeal.

The Magdalene Report.
A clean sheet for Catholics everywhere.
I expect I’ll get it in the neck for this one. I’m not saying that the use by the Irish state of the Magdalene laundries as reformatories to which people could be sent without explanation or due process was in any way defensible. And Irish nuns could undoubtedly be tough in those days (my wife has fond memories from her convent school in Swanage, now a holiday hotel, of being called “a bold girl” and having her hand thwacked with a 12-inch ruler). But, says one woman quoted [in the report], there was in the Magdalene laundries no physical punishment that she saw, and though things were “not rosy”, “we were treated good and well looked after”
