Hundreds gathered yesterday to remember the women who suffered in the
Magdalene Laundries, many of whom were buried in mass graves. The event marked the sixth annual Flowers for Magdalenes.
Mary Merritt (85) was in the laundries for 14 years. "Every one of those women should have had a separate grave with their
name on it," she said. "They cut my hair, they took my name, they took
my clothes, but I wouldn't let them take my spirit."
