Thousands abused, died at hands of Catholic nuns, no apology

Yesterday thousands of women, youth and babies were honored at the Glasnevin Cemetery – victims of nuns at the Irish Catholic Magdalene Laundries. An estimated 30,000 suffered psychological, sexual, emotional and physical abuse and death at the hands of Catholic Sisters of the Magdalene Order. There were even stories of the Catholic nuns killing newborn babies of the women incarcerated there. http://www.anphoblacht.com/contents/23818 The Vatican and Sisters of the Magdalene Order have yet to make an apology, or compensate victims. After 44 years survivors still awaited justice. The scandal broke in the 1970′s and the last laundry was closed in 1996. Finally in Feb 2013 and on behalf of the Irish government, Taoiseach Enda Kenny apologized for the hurt the women endured. He made a yet-to-be-kept promise to make available “a process to help and support the women in their remaining years.”
