The third annual Flowers for Magdalene's memorial ceremony took place in
St. Stephen's Cemetery, New Ross, recently drawing people from across
the region.
A large crowd gathered despite the inclement
weather conditions to lay flowers in homage to women who died behind the
walls of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd Magdalene Laundry. With the
demolition of St Aidan's Industrial school, which formed part of the
Good Shepherd campus in New Ross, in December 2015, the communal grave
in St Stephen's cemetery offers the only visual reminder of the
Magdalene legacy in New Ross.
